A coordinated effort between regular and municipal police in the Moruga district over the weekend resulted in a significant drug bust, with the seizure of a substantial quantity of marijuana and the detention of a male suspect. The operation, conducted on October 27, targeted illegal drug cultivation and trafficking in the area. Officers searched a property on St Clare Road in Marac Village, uncovering 14 fully grown marijuana trees, 37 seedlings, and a garbage bag filled with dried marijuana. A subsequent search at La Rufin Road, Moruga, yielded additional quantities of the illegal substance. The suspect is currently in custody as investigations continue. The operation also included a road traffic exercise, during which five fixed penalty notices were issued for various traffic violations. The initiative was led by officers from the Moruga Police Station, including acting Sgt Othello and PC Guerrero, with support from the Southern Division Task Force, the Princes Town Municipal Police, and the K9 Unit. Authorities remain committed to combating drug-related crimes in the region.
