Two Venezuelans and one Colombian are wanted for questioning about a recent cocaine bust at Hydronie, Parika, East Bank Essequibo, the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) said on Monday.

Those wanted are Colombian Camilo Morales Gonzalez (top left) of Hadfield Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown and Venezuelans Richard Daniel Rodriguez Criollo (top right) and Hernan Daro Martinez (bottom left).

The wanted bulletins were issued three days after CANU discovered 23.958 kilogrammes of cocaine and arrested one Venezuelan man and a Guyanese woman.

CANU said the cocaine was found at a residence at Hydronie.

The wanted bulletin for the Colombian followed the arrest of his countryman Yeison Andres Sanchez Vallejo who was sanctioned by the United States, along with a serving Guyanese police officer and two other Guyanese earlier this year for narco-trafficking.

Mr Sanchez Vallejo was intercepted on Tuesday November 4 aboard a Lethem-bound minibus at the Kurupukari police checkpoint the Guyana Police Force said.
