Two individuals were arrested Friday night for possession of cocaine during a Police cordon-and-search operation in Georgetown.
The operation targeted multiple residences in search of narcotics, stolen property, and wanted individuals. Officers conducted searches at the following addresses:
The home of a 43-year-old businessman from Castello Housing Scheme, Georgetown
The home of a 22-year-old cashier from Curtis Street, Albouystown, Georgetown
The home of a 36-year-old unemployed female from James and Cooper Street, Albouystown, Georgetown
The home of a 33-year-old wash bay attendant from Cummings Park, Sophia, Georgetown
No illegal items were found during the searches at these locations.
The police then proceeded to Lot 67 Gordon Street, Kitty, where they made contact with 50-year-old construction worker Gavin Clarke and 33-year-old housewife Seauta Norville, both residents of the address. Upon conducting a search of their home, officers discovered a quantity of cocaine.
Clarke admitted to possessing the drugs, while Norville denied any knowledge of them. The cocaine, weighing 33 grams, was seized, sealed in an evidence bag, and marked in the presence of the suspects. It was then lodged at Kitty Police Station to be sent to the forensic laboratory for analysis.
Both Clarke and Norville were arrested and placed into custody. Investigations are ongoing.
