Drug Bust Nets Cocaine, Heroin & Cannabis
[Updated] Earlier this afternoon [July 20] the Police arrested two men and seized a substantial amount of heroin, cannabis and cocaine at a Warwick residence, located off South Shore Road. Assistant Commissioner David Mirfield said the seizure was due to a long-running police investigation, and declined to go into further details. Bernews unofficially understands the drugs seized could have a street value in the millions of dollars.
Update 3:49pm: Police statement:
This morning (Wednesday, July 20th) police attended a property in the South Road, Warwick area regarding illegal drug activity. Officers seized a substantial amount of controlled drugs at the location including heroin, cocaine and cannabis.
Two men have been arrested in connection with the matter. This is the culmination of a lengthy police investigation into the trafficking of controlled drugs into Bermuda.
The investigation is ongoing; however at this stage it is too early to go into any further detail.
Well would you look at that??
..so much for the “harmless marijuana” pundits. One thing inevitably leads to another.
@ truth (original)- nah bra ya wrong! It’s called GREED. ya can only make so much off herb but when ya sell de harder stuff u make MUCH, MUCH more especially in bermy
Could you explain what you mean for me?
you sir are an ass
surely it proves more that the illegality of cannabis links it up to criminals who are drug dealers by trade and would be selling booze if it was illegal too…illegality: the gateway drug.
Yes this is what I want to see!! Hard drugs being stopped from going on the streets!!! WELL DONE BABYLON!!!!!
looks like murfield has taken over where coxall was forced to leave off
GET THE DAMN GUNS & KILLERS NOT THE DRUGS!!!
Erm….drugs and drug dealers is one of the killers??
the guns and killers are 99% likely to be involved directly with a gun now…………….the other 1% are indirectly involved. why would we kill ourselves if there wasn’t drugs involved
Who do you think is selling the guns and doing the killings, Drugs is the reason for a lot of this violence in BDA, If you dont know that by now then thats ignorance on your part. Drugs breeds violence and killing and killing and guns and violence breeds drugs.
Keisha! r u serious!!!!
U must be HIGH!!!!
Keisha GROW UP READ A BOOK MAYBE
Oooooh Keisha…Ooooh Keisha….Ooooooh Keisha…wouldn’t like to meet yaah…Oohh Keisha!!
Yeah nicely done. These are real drugs that kill people.
Now move the scum out if they are renting . Go through their financials and make sure that if they own the property , selling up would be the only option available to them in order to pay the staggering fine imposed .
Cocaine causes sudden strokes, heart attacks, rotten teeth, loss of smell, and later on in life certain liver problems. People never get the same high that they got the first time.
Does that explain a few things about some people we see around here, or hear about “being so young to have …….”?
Nicely done BPS.
How about guns? Any guns?
well done BPS
keep it illegal but decriminalize possession/importation of small amounts. penalize large-scale importation and cultivation. trade in illegal drugs is a pillar of bermuda’s economy, no matter how much the so-called morally upright bermudian may condemn it in his rectitude.to fully decriminalize marijuana may or may not cause the profitability of the drug to decline.Nevertheless like it or not, these suppliers of illegal narcotics are supporting families and households and a move toward decriminalization without signifacant moves to address certain societal issues within these esteemed isles could have the opposite of its intended effect..
i think the suggestion above as perhaps more of a palatable scenario should bermudians ever seriously debate legalization and come to a conclusion.
personally, i am againgst prohibitition of marijuana. it has been absolutely useless and a gross waste of taxpayers money. furthermore we have to remember- the BERMUDA POLICE SERVICE does not write LAWS, it merely ENFORCES them, and laws are passed by our elected GOVERNMENT in the best interests of WE the people of BERMUDA. where is the political impetus for changing the laws as they stand, instead of attacking the BPS for doing the job they were sworn to do, or seeing young bermudian men and women confined to this island because they are on the stop list or incarcerated
-prohibititions increase the value of whatever is prohibited, depending on the demand for the prohibited item
