In a significant law enforcement operation, former APNU+AFC parliamentarian Devin Sears was apprehended late Monday night after police discovered over 300 kilograms of marijuana in a bus he was driving. The arrest occurred on the Linden-Soesdyke Highway near Bamia, where the vehicle was intercepted during a routine patrol. Sears, a 39-year-old educator and political activist from Mackenzie, Linden, was accompanied by Albert Sandy, a 69-year-old farmer from Tacama Waterfront, Upper Berbice River. The bus, registered under the Region 10 Tourism Committee Inc., was subjected to a search after Sears exhibited suspicious behavior, including profuse sweating. Upon inspection, authorities uncovered 22 black plastic bags and four large brown canvas bags filled with suspected cannabis. While Sears remained silent during the arrest, Sandy admitted ownership of the narcotics, claiming he had paid Sears to transport him to Parika. Both men were taken into custody and are awaiting charges as the investigation continues.
