In a significant crackdown on illegal drug trafficking, officers from the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) of the North Eastern Division successfully arrested one suspect and confiscated a substantial quantity of marijuana valued at over $4.4 million. The operation, conducted between 6 am and 11 am on Wednesday, was led by Senior Superintendent Edwards, Superintendent Etienne, and Assistant Superintendent Lynch, with crucial support from the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF). During the mission, law enforcement intercepted a vehicle traveling west along the Churchill Roosevelt Highway, near the Ibis Building opposite Courts. A thorough search of the vehicle revealed 40 packages of compressed Colombian ‘creepy’ marijuana, weighing a total of 20.74 kilograms. Inspector Ammon coordinated the ground operations, leading to the arrest of a male suspect. Investigations into the case are ongoing as authorities aim to dismantle the broader drug network involved.
