Georgetown, Guyana - September 23, 2025 – Guyana’s booming tourism push is facing a serious challenge as major Western nations continue to warn their citizens to stay away from the country, citing crime and border tensions. Tourism Minister Susan Rodrigues has vowed to get answers, telling stakeholders that the basis for some of these hard-hitting advisories remains unclear. “We need to know why these advisories are being issued, why the risk levels are suddenly raised when there’s no major incident here at home,” Rodrigues stressed during a meeting with the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana (THAG)....

Major Co***ne Seizure in Guyana Uncovered Through Joint Operation

The Honourable Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Robeson Benn, was present earlier today (Sunday, September 1, 2024) as a joint operation involving the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU), the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Guyana Defence Force resulted in the discovery of 4,400 kilograms of co***ne. The seized narcotics, with an estimated street value of €176 million, were found concealed in four hand-dug bunkers, expertly camouflaged with branches, leaves, and wood, located approximately 30 minutes from an illegal airstrip in the dense forests of Matthew’s Ridge, Region 1.

During the operation, one individual was arrested and is currently in custody for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation. Field tests conducted on the scene confirmed the substance to be co***ne, which was subsequently destroyed by fire.

The discovery was the culmination of days of intense searching by officers at an abandoned airstrip in the Matthew’s Ridge location. This operation was informed by intelligence on illegal flights into Guyana and was bolstered by collaboration with the DEA and other international partners. According to CANU, this is the largest land-based co***ne seizure in Guyana’s history, following months of extensive surveillance and intelligence gathering.

Home Affairs Minister Robeson Benn emphasized the importance of local cooperation in combating drug trafficking, urging more forest residents and other citizens to assist law enforcement. “The people who live in the forest can join up in this fight because this is a fight for everyone,” Minister Benn told reporters on the scene.

This operation is one of several conducted over the past five months, targeting illegal airstrips and monitoring suspicious activities. CANU officials believe that this successful raid not only intercepted a large quantity of narcotics but also exposed new methods of concealment.
