In a series of coordinated anti-narcotics operations, Trinidad and Tobago law enforcement authorities have successfully intercepted substantial quantities of illicit drugs with a combined street value exceeding $67 million. The most significant seizure occurred in Central Trinidad, where specialized police units confiscated over 413 kilograms of high-potency Colombian marijuana known as “Creepy” strain.
The operation, conducted between 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM on Wednesday, was executed by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) with support from the Inter-Agency Task Force. Acting on precise intelligence, officers raided a residential property under the Emergency Powers Regulation of 2025, discovering ten crocus bags and five garbage bags filled with compressed marijuana packets. The confiscated narcotics, with an estimated value of $47.6 million, represent one of the largest single drug seizures in recent operations.
Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro personally commended the operating teams, emphasizing the effectiveness of inter-agency collaboration. “Today’s operations demonstrated the power of true teamwork across our units,” Guevarro stated. “Your skill, discipline, and initiative were evident in every task, enabling the precise and professional execution of complex missions.”
Earlier the same day, SIU officers conducted a separate operation along the Churchill Roosevelt Highway, intercepting a vehicle containing 40 packets of the same Colombian strain weighing approximately 20.74 kilograms, valued at $4.4 million. This interception resulted in the arrest of the driver.
These operations followed another significant drug bust at the ANR Robinson International Airport in Tobago, where authorities seized $16 million worth of cocaine and apprehended two female suspects.
The term “Creepy” marijuana refers to a potent variant developed in Colombia’s Cauca region from genetic stock originally native to the United States and Europe. This strain contains THC concentrations 15-25% higher than traditional marijuana, producing more intense psychoactive effects. THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound responsible for marijuana’s characteristic high.
All seized evidence remains in police custody as investigations continue, with multiple suspects currently in custody facing drug trafficking charges.
