A foreign aircraft with an unknown quantity of suspected cocaine made an emergency landing in a savannah in Orealla, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) on Thursday, according to Toshao of Orealla, Lewis Devir.

Based on reliable reports he received, Toshao Devir said that the aircraft landed in a savannah near the airstrip in the village and next to where a road is being built. There were two men on board.

The Toshao said that it appears as though there is cocaine inside the aircraft, but the officers on the ground are awaiting ranks from the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) and the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to confirm this.
