$1.6 million in marijuana has been seized in Tobago.

During an intelligence-led operation in Crown Point last night, officers went to Pigeon Point Road, where they observed a white Nissan Tiida parked in a poorly lit area along the beachfront.

The vehicle was searched, leading to the discovery of a multi-coloured crocus bag containing 48 packages wrapped in brown plastic, as well as a red bag containing seven black packages.

All contained cannabis weighing a total of 29.7 kilograms.
