Over $29 million worth of high-grade cannabis was seized during an early morning joint agency operation.
This included the TTPS, Coast Guard, and international partners, who were acting on intel about a drug shipment from Venezuela.
Nine crocus bags, containing 268 kilograms of Colombian “Creepy” marijuana, were recovered around 3AM today, when a fishing vessel was intercepted off Point Fortin.
Three suspects jumped overboard and escaped, while two men and the vessel have been detained at Staubles Bay.
