Police have arrested two men after discovering 2.399 kilograms of suspected cannabis during a mobile patrol along Crabwood Creek Public Road, Corentyne, Berbice, on Saturday.

According to police, the discovery was made at about 14:00 hrs on October 17, 2026, when ranks from Regional Division Six were conducting a mobile patrol in the area.

During the patrol, the ranks reportedly observed an 18-year-old cane harvester of Grant 1806, Crabwood Creek, placing a brown salt bag into a motor car driven by a 20-year-old Technical Assistant of Number 72 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.

Upon noticing the police, the driver reportedly drove away and was subsequently seen throwing the bag from the vehicle onto the shoulder of the roadway.

The ranks retrieved the bag and intercepted the motor car.

A search of the bag, conducted in the presence of both men, revealed three bulky parcels containing leaves, seeds and stems suspected to be cannabis.

Both men were arrested and escorted to the Springlands Police Station, where the suspected narcotics were weighed in their presence and amounted to 2.399 kilograms.

The suspected cannabis was subsequently lodged as investigations continue.

Both suspects remain in police custody.
