A French national was nabbed yesterday at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport after it was suspected that he had swallowed cocaine.
The man, 22-year-old Agwintie Joel, was an outgoing passenger on a Delta flight back to his homeland.
According to police sources, officers from the Police Narcotics Unit arrested the man after he was observed acting in a suspicious manner.
Joel was arrested and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where an x-ray was conducted and revealed that foreign objects were in his stomach.
At present, the man is a patient at the hospital in ward B2. Only a few weeks back, Jamaican Richard Gayle was taken into custody by the Police Narcotics Unit, under the suspicion that he had swallowed pellets containing cocaine for the intent of trafficking. Gayle was at the time boarding a flight to Trinidad and Tobago. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where X-rays of his abdomen showed several foreign objects in his stomach. Gayle had excreted over 60 cocaine pellets.
Another Jamaican, Errol Barrett, had spent three days at the GPHC before finally excreting the pellets containing the illicit substance. None of the pellets containing the drug ruptured in his stomach.
Over the last few years, several drug mules have died when the pellets containing the drugs they were trafficking burst while still inside of them.
