JAMAICA – According to reports from the police’s Corporate Communications Unit, about 4:30 p.m., the police were conducting a vehicular checkpoint operation when they signaled the driver of an Isuzu motor truck to stop. The driver complied; however, he then ran from the truck and escaped in the area.
There have been frequent drug busts in these holiday locals. It is usually the locals with a foreign party involved. But it seems that the police can’t pinpoint where the Ganja came from whether it was locally produced or if it was flown in from another country.
Holiday makers like to sit6 back and have a good time and sometimes it is so that they tend to get contrabands and the locals make some extra money from selling these contrabands.
Ganja is the easiest to get one’s hands on considering it can be grown in certain weather so it is most likely that the bust ganja was locally produced.
The truck was seized and later searched. Several bags of compressed ganja weighing approximately 1,065 pounds were found hidden under bales of grass.
The drug has an estimated street value of J$4.26 million.
This latest seizure comes on the heels of a reported uptick in anti-narcotics activity by the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
