On Monday, the Narcotics Department and Customs Taskforce Officers conducted a Joint Drug Interdiction at the General Post Office.
During the operation, a gift-wrapped box was searched in the presence of Rae Peters from Bolans Village, who had come to collect the package.
A transparent plastic bag containing a green, bushy substance resembling the controlled drug cannabis was discovered.
Rae Peters and the substance were taken to the Police Headquarters for further investigation.
The substance was weighed and amounted to 391 grams with an estimated street value of $6,000.00 E.C.
Peters was allegedly at the post office with his close friend Junior Minister Dwayne George.
George said he was not implicated in the offense.
The police have not mentioned his name in their blotter either.
George told Antigua.news that a close friend asked for his help arranging a meeting with the Postmaster General to clear a package intended for a third party.
He said there was no further involvement beyond connecting his friend with the Postmaster General.
the lawyer have a choice ? lawyers get paid to lie
smh at this always the ones in the high seat
So Benjamin you are saying that the police shouldn’t do their work? If a man come to the post office and that man’s package contains drugs what is wrong in reporting that? I understand that you are a lawyer and must work hard for your money but sometimes it’s best to just hush
It hard to believe a lawyer,he mix up in it is always the people with higher authority.it have police in it too
