Police have apprehended a 50-year-old labourer after he reportedly claimed ownership of two parcels of cannabis with a weight of 1,119 grams that were found in a haversack at a shop at Pamela Landing, Potaro River.
According to the Police, the labourer who is from E Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown, was left in charge of the shop at the time of his arrest.
