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.

    You mean the fall guy. Most of the these drug bust are done by high ups and there is a middle man who answers for everything. Someone who need to prison before that don’t mind going back but also received a nice pay off and family set just incase. Also if they find one bust it mean that ten others came through. That one bust is just a distraction from the many others.
