The bag contained a blanket in which the cocaine was stitched into six compartments, sources said.

Roraima Airways is the ground handling agent for Delta Airlines.

Demerara Waves Online News (www.demwaves.com) was told that the airline security officer had assaulted the female airport security after she refused an inducement of GUY$10,000 and US$200 to allow him to pass hassle-free.

The Roraima Airways official Monday night remained in police custody. Investigators have already released one of the staff members of Water Chris catering service but continued to detain another for further questioning.,

“This had nothing to do with Water Chris. Nothing was in the food,” the official told DemWaves
.

The source explained that after the Roraima Airways official was challenged about why he had placed the bag aback the forklift that usually takes the food bins into the aircraft, he was taken to a room.

It was from there that he tried to escape.

On arriving at the airport, the Roraima Airways security officer had objected to colleague taking over from him to escort the food to the aircraft.

This is an opportunity for Cde. Rohee and President Ramoutar to step up and recognize the Female Security Officer who "refused' to accept a bribe and did her job very well Indeed She should be commended publicly and possibly promoted as This was certainly an exceptional EXAMPLE OF WHAT GUYANA NEEDS.

This officer should be a regular police. This the type we need in the Force. He/She should be commended. Well done.

I think that Guyana, USA, the FBI, CANU now have a very good lead on drug smuggling in Guyana. Follow this lead to the summit. . The summit is the highest point. This is the biggest break these countries and organization get and will ever get in years. They should check for gold and diamond smuggling also. What a break through. Thanks to the courageous woman security guard. I have faith in our Guyanese women. They are the soul and the conscience of that nation. They struggled the most against tyranny and have lost the most but they keep on fighting for their dignity. My god bless the courageous women of Guyana. May he have mercy on them, grant them his favors and protect them from the evil and corrupted regime.

God work by the Special Constable. Recently, whilst checking in at the CJIA enroute to N.Y. I was accosted by a young male Indian employee at the scanner. I had a quantity of frozen shrimp in one of my suitcases. I was told that frozen shrimp was not permitted to be taken on the flight. I asked to see a supervisor after which he told me to put my suitcases on the scanner. Security at the CJIA IS VERY LAPSE and most employees are only interested in fleecing passengers.

Continue the growth for 2012 Mr Finance Minister. Hope we grow by 100% GDP (The USA is watching our Growth)

I wonder what the head of Roraima has to say about this. We know where the buck stops.

+22 #15 benuriah 2012-09-04 07:25

I do hope the female security officer will be adequately protected and be appropriately rewarded for her resisting bribery and apprehending the villain.

+9 #16 savannahman 2012-09-04 07:29

the amazing thing is that this will be the end of another "bust" - the poor lil fish will be jailed and the 'lords' are free to set another bait and lure another fry - shame on the state controlled police .

The only growth that we've been recording is an increase of cocaine exports, increase in cost of living, increased sufferring!!!!

This is a way of Life in Guyana,Easy Trafficking Get Rich Quickly.

+6 #20 Jennifer Fewrreira 2012-09-04 09:14

I commend this female Officer for her brave act. The women of Guyana will continue to lead in the revolution. This is the reaon why Rohee should step down, he hads no control of the Drug trade in my country.
Why the hell that officer thinks that 250us can pay anybody off he is disrespectful to that woman. Jail his A...s

+5 #21 ray 2012-09-04 09:45

It's commendable! For resisting the temptation and spurn the inducement,the security officer (though she was performing her duties)should be publicly commended.

+6 #22 Peter Sam 2012-09-04 09:52

I know, fry a Patwah and the Whale go free, typical in Guyana. Whose cocaine is it? The trick is simple set up a small fry and when all eyes r on the case the real amount goes past. Lol this is as old as the hills.

+5 #23 joe terwal 2012-09-04 10:03

What I am going to say I hope it comes across correctly. Countries such as Malaysia have death penalties for drug trafficking. My sugestion ,do not waste my money to feed him..Kill him..

+4 #24 Cecilia 2012-09-04 10:04

Congratulations to the female security officer. While I feel she should be publicly commended her safety should be considered since one could never tell who the Roraima Officer was working for.

+5 #25 patrick 2012-09-04 10:17

that woman has to be protected.

+4 #26 Dee 2012-09-04 10:46

Who owns Roraima Airways?

+4 #27 Golden Girl 2012-09-04 11:11

God bless and protect you female police officer, you have upheld dignity you reminded me of my little friend Miss Tamika Tennant, who demanded the pink suitcase be checked and searched and because she stuck to her ground the foolish supervisor repremanded her with a memo, good thing Shemika used to have log of all her list of duties when she worked for CANU at the Airport. I wonder what Captain Jerry is saying about this situation because he is the owner of Roraima Airways Handling Services and Roraima Hotel and they provide the services at the VIP Lounge I have to wonder when next I am at home staying at Roraima Hotel and given a VIP voucher if I am going to take up the offer to use the facilities at the VIP lounge.

+5 #28 venom 2012-09-04 11:51

that an up standing security officer that work with the special constabulary she should be commended . this guy should be put in jail for his actions.

+3 #29 Presso 2012-09-04 12:49

Kudos to this female Security Officer. To refuse a bribe in Guyana tells me that there is a lot of people with stainless integrity, and who cannot easily be bought. I agree that she should be promoted.

+4 #30 Reader 2012-09-04 13:12

I wish to commend the officer that did her job well and refused to be bribed. It's sad to see how easily would bridge others to do wrong things and pass drugs through the airport.

Great job done by the airport in stamping down on the people who traffic drugs. Although it looks bad that drugs were apprehended, it also shows that the security and doing more to stop it from leaving the country.

Keep it up all airport staff!!

+3 #31 Moses Ramotar 2012-09-04 14:11

Some of these people working at the airport are complete idiots and are clueless on their jobs. Frozen fish and shrimp is allowed in the US. Uncooked meats, fruits and vegetables is strictly prohibited.

+3 #32 nat nice 2012-09-04 15:19

the gaurd should point out the big fish who give him it to put on the plane or lost him in jail.i think the government should impose more jail term for drugs smugglers .instead of giving the smokers the years the should give the big fish it or money run things

+1 #33 Lowes 1 2012-09-04 15:35

A job well done, but because of Guyanese culture I wonder if the result would have been the same if a larger amount was offered for her to let the man go about his illegal business.

+3 #34 caban 2012-09-04 15:36

Well well the capt was with the president in wakeanaam declearing that island a tourist destination which is more than a joke for those who know wakeanaam what in the world would attrack tourist there yet the captain chose to support this comedy, I never taught the a person of that caliber would stoop so low

+4 #35 Deen 2012-09-04 15:55

Great job by the female airport security personnel. She's a fine example of a conscientious employee who refused to be bribed. She should be applauded and commended for her performance in line of duty. As we all know, these personnel don't make handsome wages and that's why bribery is so rampant in all sectors od Guyana. Recently, there was an incident published where three police officers were accused for taking bribes ans I'd assume only a small percentage of these criminal are caught. Bribery and corruption are cancerous in Guyana.

+4 #36 phillsop 2012-09-04 20:52

This is the way to go if we want Guyana to turn around from a nation of kick backs and bribes.

That woman is a shining example of what is needed here.

After saying all that...it is known the world over that the fairer sex are more trustworthy in areas of security than the
men.

BIG UP TO THE WOMEN.

It is about time that we give the women their due.
