PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad — A significant law enforcement operation in the Beetham Gardens area has resulted in a major drug interdiction and three arrests, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) confirmed this week. The operation, executed under the nation’s current state of emergency and its Emergency Powers Regulations of 2025, targeted a residential property suspected of narcotics trafficking. During a systematic search of the premises, conducted with the occupants present, officers uncovered a substantial cache of illicit substances. The discovery consisted of 111 multi-colored, rectangular packages, all containing high-grade cannabis. The total weight of the seized marijuana was precisely measured at 78.52 kilograms. Law enforcement officials estimated its potential market value at a staggering TT$8,617,334.44, equivalent to approximately US$1.38 million. Consequently, three individuals were taken into custody: two men, aged 45 and 32, and one woman of undisclosed age. All three suspects are slated for a court appearance to face formal charges related to the possession and intended distribution of the controlled substance. This bust represents one of the more significant seizures in recent operations, highlighting continued efforts to combat drug trafficking amidst the ongoing state of emergency.
