Reid’s passport which was issued days before he was busted

Given the numerous checks and balances which have been implemented by the Guyana Police Force Narcotics Unit and the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit recruiters of drugs mules have been employing a number of strategies to ensure that their cocaine meet its final destinations.

Today a senior operative of the one of one of the watch dogs for the movement of cocaine trafficking in and other of Guyana told Big Smith Crime Watch that has been discovered is that drug mules are not passing through the Cheddi Jagan International Airport with the substance as before, rather, they are travelling to Trinidad and Tobago where they have been picking up their packages and swallowing their pellets before moving onto the United States.

On October 19, 2019 another Guyanese Deskean Garlin Reid was also busted with attempting to smuggle cocaine into the United States.

Based on what was communicated to BIG Smith Crime Watch, the man traveled out of Guyana and made a stop in Trinidad where he reportedly collected his cocaine package and made his way onto the United States where he was busted.

We were informed that local authorities within the drug enforcement arms have been monitoring the individual and the intelligence which was gathered on him was passed onto the counterparts in Trinidad after it was found that he was did not leave Guyana with the illicit substance.

What was interesting is that Reid, 37 years old, had his passport issued to him on October 11, 2019.

CANU and the Police Narcotics Branch have been collaborating their extensively and also pooling their resources to ensure that Guyana’s rating around the world as a major drug transhipment point is reduced.

In addition to Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname and other neighboring countries which Guyanese use to make their way to travel to the United States are being used as the pickup points for cocaine which are to be shipped into the United States.

BIG Smith Crime Watch has been reliably informed that there are several other young Guyanese who are on the radar of CANU and the Police Narcotics Unit. Most of them are said to be persons who are not continuously employed but are frequently traveling to the United States and other destinations.
