A man was arrested in North Side on Thursday, 15 January, and approximately 4 pounds of ganja was seized during an operation by Bodden Town Police and the Drugs Task Force (DTF). The RICPS said that the 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in Old Man Bay on suspicion of possession of ganja with intent to supply, and remained in police custody up until press time. The arrest comes after a number of others that were made in West Bay earlier last week. Over a two-day period (Wednesday into Thursday), two people, a male and female, were arrested for possession of ganja with intent to supply following an operation at an address on Watercourse Road. These two also remained in police custody up until press time. On Tuesday 13 January, West Bay officers arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of possession of ganja and consumption of a controlled drug. In a separate incident, a 56- year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of cocaine and consumption of a controlled drug. Both have been released on bail pending further investigations. “Tackling drug related crime is one of our top priorities,” said Detective Inspector Livingston Bailey of the Drugs Task Force. “We’re working hard to address the use and sale of illegal substances and anticipate more arrests over the coming weeks. In addition, the arrival of more vessels for our Marine Unit will assist greatly in intercepting illegal drugs destined for our country. Those involved in drugs should take this as a warning. If you haven’t been caught yet, it’s only a matter of time.” Anyone with information about criminal activity should contact their local police station or call Crime Stoppers on 800-8477 (TIPS) to pass on information. All persons calling Crime Stoppers remain anonymous, and are eligible for a reward of up to $1000, should their information lead to an arrest or recovery of property and/or drugs. |
