Authorities from Guyana have conducted their largest-ever seizure of Cocaine, taking over 8,000 pounds of the drug from a jungle near the Venezuelan border. Police arrested one suspect of being involved in the attempted smuggling and are looking for two more who fled the scene.
Security Minister Robeson Benn told reporters he estimates the drugs are worth about $200 million. The drugs were located near a clandestine airstrip and taken before they could be sent to Europe, according to a customs official.
