Bhudram Loelere, a 23-year-old carpenter from Patrick Dam, Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam is in police custody following his arrest earlier this week.
Authorities on marine patrol in the Berbice River discovered a significant quantity of suspected cannabis during their routine operations.
The drugs were found in two bags containing four bulky parcels wrapped in transparent plastic, weighing a total of 5,772 grams.
Loelere is expected to face charges in connection with the incident as the investigation continues.
