A New York man has been remanded to prison after appearing in a Guyanese court on January 30 on drug-related charges.

Guyanese media reports identified the accused as Bradley Hibbert, a 36-year-old security officer from Brooklyn, New York. 

Hibbert was arrested on January 28 at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport shortly after arriving in Guyana on a flight from the United States.

According to reports, officers attached to the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit received intelligence suggesting that Hibbert was allegedly attempting to traffic narcotics into the country. 

A subsequent search reportedly led to the discovery of 15.758 kg of cannabis.

When he appeared before the court, bail was refused, and Hibbert was remanded into custody.

He is scheduled to return to court on February 20, 2026.
