During the operation, two male individuals present at the premises were apprehended. Identified as Shanne Edward, aged 23, and Ken Subnar, aged 49, both residents at the said address, they were subsequently arrested and escorted to CANU Headquarters along with the suspected narcotic.
Upon testing, the seized substance tested positive for cannabis, with an approximate weight of 5.994 kg (almost 13.21 lbs.), and a street value of approximately GUY $1.8 million.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing as authorities work to gather further information and evidence related to the case.
