They are scheduled to appear in the Hanover Parish Court tomorrow.
It's reported that detectives from the Narcotics Police Division were conducting targeted operations in Hanover shortly after 8 o'clock last Friday evening when they approached a truck and a motorcar parked at a section of the Old Green Island main road.
The occupant of the car reportedly fired shots on the approach of the police and ran off.
The truck and three occupants, including the sergeant, were searched and several knitted bags containing the compressed ganja were allegedly found.
