A GUYANESE man was arrested by officials at the Lynden Pindling International Airport Wednesday for drug smuggling.

According to police, the 29-year-old resident of Suriname arrived in the country from Jamaica shortly after 4pm when he was taken into custody. The Guyanese man was taken to hospital where he later excreted a number of capsules which contained cocaine.

He is expected to face court charges once he is released from hospital.
