Police and Customs Intercept $312,000 Cannabis Shipment at V.C. Bird Airport
A joint police and customs operation has led to the seizure of more than $300,000 worth of cannabis at V.C. Bird International Airport.
Authorities confirmed that the discovery was made on Tuesday during a routine operation in the airport’s cargo shed. Two cardboard boxes containing 52 vacuum-sealed packages of cannabis were intercepted. The haul weighed 52 pounds in total and has an estimated street value of $312,000.
The packages were immediately confiscated and transported to Police Headquarters for processing. No arrests have yet been announced, but investigators say inquiries are ongoing.
In a statement, the Police Administration pledged continued vigilance against narcotics trafficking, warning that the illegal drug trade poses a serious threat to public safety and security. Officials added that collaboration with regional and international partners remains key in stemming the flow of illicit drugs through the Caribbean.
CHUPS. Thus is just another attempt to distract from the current shit storm the police are now facing. Nice try but e nar werk! Solve the burglaries, murders, attempted murders, the elderly being robbed and abused in their own homes, rampant egotistical police having no self control and wreaking havoc on those they’re charged with protecting and serving only then will I be impressed. CHUPS bout some plant the Almighty gave for our healing.
It is because the police are so busy haunting down weed, why they cant know the difference between a person and an animal
That’s a whole lot of weed
That’s the only thing the police is concerned about ‘weed’ I bet it was more than 52 pounds.once is drugs and guns they’re all in but people getting rob every other dat
So they find $300k weed but never arrest anybody? Sounds fishy to me.
Somebody sweating bullets right now… dat box never reach who it was supposed to reach
Watch how this one go end up drugs ‘seized’ today, gone missing tomorrow.
$312,000 worth? Boy dem street value numbers always sound inflated. Somebody round here must be smoking gold leaf
We need more of this kind of collaboration between police and customs. Keep up the good work
Yes, they intercepted it, but the bigger question is who’s behind these shipments?
Drugs keep flooding the country while young people getting hooked. We losing a generation and all we hearing is ‘investigation ongoing
