a 009 agent repoting from the field
On Friday 11th September 2009 about 0530hrs officers from the Customs Anti Narcotic unit under the supervision of senior supervisor Ian Burnett went to the house of Raymond AKA blackface at Laluni Street in search for Narcotic and Guns.
It must be noted that information received by the said agency that a quantity of Narcotic and Guns belongs to one Mark De Abreu is being stored on the premises of Raymond.
On arrival of the Officers contact was made with the occupant of the home, who refuses to open the door to allow the Officers to conduct their search. The senior supervisor in charge chooses to call Head CANU Mr. James G. Singh, who instructed those Officers to Haul Off, That the army is looking at this house. From source of information is that after the Officer left the premises Raymond was also seen leaving in one of his vehicle.
Sometime after those Office returns to the area and saw Raymond sitting on his veranda but they did not stop. It must be noted that James G. Singh is family and maybe as close as cousin with Raymond and are very close. both james and raymond are working for Mark De Abreu.
This relation goes long before Mr. James G. Singh become head of CANU.. It must also be noted that the army does not do any Narcotic exercise without the presence of Police or CANU

Frustrated CANU ranks question senior officer’s credibility
September 12, 2009 | By KNews | Filed Under News
Ranks of the Customs Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU) are expressing frustration and are questioning the credibility of a senior officer. This comes following several alleged orders to stand down, when matters involved persons purported to be known drug dealers in Guyana.
The most recent incident was sparked yesterday when four units of about 16 ranks swooped down on a Queenstown residence.
They allege that they had received information about a businessman from the DEA in the USA about six months ago and had been conducting surveillance since then.
Yesterday, when the four units surrounded the building, they were met with heavy grill work and reported that they then spoke with persons in the building who refused to allow them entrance to the property to conduct their search for illicit drugs and possible narcotics.
They said when they finally got to speak to the businessman, he telephoned CANU and allegedly spoke with a senior officer, and they subsequently received a call directing them to stand down and remove from the premises.
They told this publication that about 45 minutes after they left the premises, four vehicles arrived and removed a quantity of items to an unknown destination.
This move, they indicated, was the basis of their frustration, and they have expressed confusion that they had the information but were ordered to remove from the premises by the senior officer, after six months of surveillance.
They said, too, that such developments have taken place on several occasions since the employment of the senior officer.
Kaieteur News contacted the named senior officer of the unit, yesterday, and he confirmed that “we did have an operation but someone is trying to create mischief by playing mind games.”
He admitted that he did pass an order to ranks to step down and return to base, but said that “we don’t operate with the DEA and I can’t offer any operation information to compromise the ranks either.”
When told about the many allegations levelled, he said that after the ranks returned he did have a debriefing session with them, but is not aware of anything else as “no one told me anything.”

Posted by En!gMa? | November 10, 2009, 11:44 pmHow much Cocaine has CANU found within the last 5 to 6 months to compensate for the just over $40 million dollars of taxpayer money squander by that Agency over the corresponding period,
CANU is not making any impact in the Drug world with James Singh being head we all know that James Singh father was a respectable man but the chips fall very far from the shoulder
The Agency is purging many of the good officers along with some bad apple, but what is the aim when you have a corrupted person heading such an organization.
