Controlled Drugs Discovered at Deep Water Harbor During Joint Operation
Law enforcement authorities have discovered a quantity of controlled drugs during a joint drug interdiction operation at the Deep Water Harbor Cargo Shed.
On Monday, April 7, 2025, at approximately 2:30 pm, a coordinated effort between the Royal Police Force and Customs Enforcement led to the seizure of a barrel containing seventeen (17) vacuum-sealed packages of the controlled drug cannabis.
A female resident of Yorks was subsequently taken into police custody for questioning in connection with the incident. The packages weighed five and a half (5½) pounds, and have a street value of $44,000.
The Royal Police Force and Customs Enforcement remain committed to the protection of the nation’s borders and the disruption of illegal drug trafficking operations.
