(Kaieteur News) – Nine out of every 10 cocaine seizures made in Guyana originated from Venezuela, according to Head of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) James Singh, who also disclosed that investigators are still pursuing leads into death threats against him allegedly linked to a Spanish-speaking group believed to be operating out of the neighbouring country.

Speaking in an interview on the sidelines of an event held at the Marriott Hotel in Georgetown on Wednesday, Head of the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) James Singh addressed ongoing joint investigations into the flow of high-potency drugs into the country and the unresolved threats against him.

Asked about the source of narcotics entering Guyana, Singh said the pattern has been consistent.
