Cops destroy ganja plantations
WITH the assistance of the national security helicopter, police wiped out 12 marijuana plantations, which had an estimated street value of $2.2 million, during an eradication exercise in Moruga on Thursday. The nine-hour exercise, supervised by Sgt Errol Ramdath, was a joint effort by police officers attached to the Moruga, Barrackpore and Princes Town Police Stations, and officers of the Organised Crime and Narcotic Unit. Between 8 am and 5 pm, the party of policemen trekked ten miles in to the dense forests at La Lune and Marac Villages in Moruga, where they found the plantations. The lawmen uprooted and destroyed 11,000 fully grown marijuana trees, police said. The officers also destroyed 1,000 marijuana seedlings. The exercise was part of an ongoing crime initiative by the police to curb the local cultivation and sale of the illegal plant.
