Gya: Link in the chain broken

New York police have busted a drug-smuggling ring that was allegedly netting more than US$75M a year running cocaine between Guyana and New York.

Thirteen people have been arrested among them more baggage handlers at John F. Kennedy Airport. Authorities have identified three Guyanese "kingpins" who have yet to be arrested. One Guyanese with a local address in Subryanville is reportedly being held on US$10 million bail.
