Major Drug Bust: Officers Recover Over $300 Million In Narcotics
The Police Service has scored a big win against crime. Officers found and seized over $314 million worth of illegal drugs in just two days of operations in South Trinidad.
On Tuesday, September 30th, and Wednesday, October 1st, police carried out two major missions to stop a drug trafficking group.
In the first operation, police stopped a white car in Fyzabad. Inside the trunk, they discovered over 200 kilogrammes of high-grade marijuana, worth more than $22 million. One suspect was arrested.
The following day, officers searched a forested area in Palo Seco. There, they found a giant stash of drugs hidden in crocus bags. The haul included over 1,100 kilogrammes of marijuana and more than 117 kilogrammes of cocaine. Together, that discovery was worth about $292 million.
In total, across the two days, police seized narcotics worth more than $314 million.
