Georgetown: The Bacchus family are denying knowledge of the 300 million dollar cocaine and the quantity of ammunition found during a raid at the Haslington home Tuesday last. The man and his wife are still in custody assisting with the investigation. It is not clear when charges are to be laid, since 72 hours will soon expire. Trakkernews understand that a number of other persons including a close friend to the family have been implicated in the find after the family was interrogated. The 72 kilos of cocaine were found concealed in false bottoms of Hindu kunds, used in religious ceremonies. Investigators were tipped off about the major operation between Sunday and Monday last, after they kept watch on the families' activities for weeks. Investigators are now on the hunt for the suspects whose names and possible locations were reportedly given to them by Bacchus.
