Three men have been remanded to prison after they were charged in connection with the recent seizure of more than 24 kilograms of foreign marijuana by the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) on the West Coast Demerara.
Kenner Arjun, Antonio Bobb, and Pooran Seemangal appeared before Magistrate George at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 10th July, 2025. They all pleaded not guilty to the charge of possession of 21.714 kilograms of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking.
Additionally, Kenner Arjun pleaded not guilty to a separate charge for possession of 3.128 kilograms of cannabis for trafficking.
Bail was denied for all three men, who were remanded to prison until August 20, 2025.
The charges stem from an operation on Monday, 7th July, when CANU officers intercepted a motor car in De Kinderen, West Coast Demerara, and found several parcels of marijuana known locally as “Creepy”. A follow-up search in Hauge led to the discovery of more foreign marijuana at a residence linked to Arjun.
Investigations into the matter remain ongoing.
