Gun & Ammunition Also Seized From SailBoat
The Bermuda Police confirmed today [Aug.2] that in addition to seizing a “substantial amount” of drugs from a sailboat yesterday, they also found a firearm and ammunition on the boat.
Police said that the Latvian man they arrested had diverted to Bermuda after experiencing mechanical problems with his boat while traveling to Europe, and investigations suggest the shipment of illegal drugs was not destined for Bermuda. The 28-year-old man is expected in court in due course.
Police and Customs officers descended on McCallan’s Wharf in St. George’s at approximately 2pm yesterday, searching the sailboat and removing numerous bags it.
Today a police spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Police Service in conjunction with HM Customs can confirm that a 28 year old Latvian man is in police custody after a significant amount of illegal drugs, a firearm and ammunition was seized from his sailboat.”
“The 28 year old man diverted to Bermuda after experiencing mechanical problems with his boat while traveling to Europe. Investigations conducted thus far suggest that this shipment of illegal drugs was not destined for Bermuda, however this seizure is another good example of cooperation between overseas law enforcement agencies as well as local agencies.”
“A court appearance for the 28 year old man is expected in due course.”
[Age amended from 24 to 28, police issued correction]

Most foreign vessels carry firearms. They are declared at customs et al.
Guess any port in a storm.
Maybe an enquiry can be made to the police spokesperson as to how much food etc was aboard the vessel and it’s last port of call……nawa no………
I’m sure we will hear something soon enough. As I mentioned as our posts overlapped, where from, where is thye vessel registered et al. Maybe Dwayne will give some more when the time is right, just to keep enquiring minds enquiring……

no one in their right mind would take cannabis from the islands when you can get prime skunk and wonderful hashish all over europe…perhaps cocaine..the longer the distance traveled with coke the more its worth including europe..probably headed to the UK (biggest coke consumer in europe-with highest rate among young people in world)
