Authorities in Suriname have intercepted more than two tons of illegally smuggled cyanide, a highly toxic chemical, that was being brought into the country across its border with Guyana. The contraband was discovered during a routine inspection at the Burnside control checkpoint located in the Coronie district, where law enforcement stopped two cargo trucks carrying the hazardous shipment. Multiple people have been taken into custody in connection with the unauthorized transport, which was reportedly en route to the nation’s capital of Paramaribo.
