A 26-year-old Guyanese hairdresser has possibly made history, at least locally, for swallowing a total of three pounds of cocaine pellets as a narcotics mule out of Guyana. As a consequence of her feat, she is now in US custody.
Arrested on November 9, Shureen Giddings was intercepted shortly after arriving at the John F. Kennedy Airport, New York, on a flight from Guyana, and subsequently excreted 105 pellets. Sources close to Guyana’s Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit say she has “set a local record for swallowing such a large number of pellets”.
The Beauty Shop operator has been charged with knowingly and unlawfully importing cocaine into the United States and is currently being held at the Brooklyn Metro Detention Centre.
The mother of one, according to court documents, was the subject of a Customs and Border Protection examination and was arrested minutes after her arrival at JFK.
She was subject to a body search and her luggage was also searched for drugs after being questioned extensively. According to reports, the woman admitted that she had swallowed cocaine-filled pellets and initially excreted 17 after asking to use the restroom.
Those pellets tested positive for the presence of cocaine and US Law Enforcement agents subsequently escorted the woman to a medical facility situated at the airport for an x-ray examination where more pellets were seen in her stomach.
This resulted in her immediate arrest after which the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit in Guyana was informed of the bust and is carrying out investigations locally.
