Police ranks stationed at Brickdam in Georgetown have arrested a man who attempted to smuggle marijuana concealed in a bowl of soup into the Camp Street penitentiary.
The man, who was identified as Pradesh Ballkishun of Track ‘A’ Coldingen, East Coast Demerara, visited the prison around 11:30 hrs on January 01, 2024, to drop off personal items for a male prisoner, Kapil Gangaden.
According to a press release from Prison Headquarters, while the items were being checked at the self-support area, prison staff discovered the leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be marijuana wrapped in small plastics and were hidden inside the dumpling of the soup.
The suspect is likely to be arraigned in court sometime today and is expected to be charged with possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.
So, this SOUP MAN is the supplier of ganja to prisoners ?
