The discovery was made earlier today at the suspect’s home which is located at the Onderneeming village, West Bank Demerara (WBD).
Reports are that police ranks, acting on information, swooped down at the man’s residence and he was at that time in his backyard with the black plastic bag.
According to further reports, the cops informed him of the information that they received and notified him that they would be conducting a search on his person and premises.
