Man Arrested, 1/2 Million Of Cannabis Seized
“More than half a million dollars worth of cannabis was seized after police executed a warrant at a residence early this morning,” and a “48- year-old Bermudian male is now in police custody,” the police have confirmed.
A police spokesperson said, “More than half a million dollars-worth of cannabis was seized after police executed a warrant at a residence early this morning.
“The drugs were found concealed inside items of furniture. A forty-eight year-old Bermudian male is now in police custody, assisting with their investigations into this seizure.”
Antoine Daniels, Assistant Commissioner of Police – Crime, praised the officers involved for “their good work in effecting this seizure.”
He said, “Thanks to the usual high level of investigative work done by the members of our Drugs Unit, an estimated six hundred and eighty four thousand dollars-worth of cannabis was prevented from making it onto Bermuda’s streets.
“This was another joint initiative with our partner agency, H.M. Customs. Our combined efforts continue to be successful in ensuring that not only controlled drugs, but other forms of contraband, including, illegal firearms are kept off our streets, helping to ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents.”
Detective Superintendent Nicholas Pedro, Officer in charge – Serious Crime, added: “The cannabis seized will now be analysed at an approved laboratory.
“Once the results of that analysis are known, it is expected a court appearance will follow.”
Disgusting, they’re still doing this when it’s going to be legalised soon? I guess so only the wealthy profit off of it. This is why ppl have no respect for gov or police.
You hit the nail right on the head, only friend’s and family will profit!!
That is so true, hurray up and legalize marijuana so we can open our coffee shops.
But it’s weed man. Let de ganja flow
Bermudians use that to cope with this pandemic. What a big mistake taken that away. Now they will drink and see all the problems that will cause. More people get together to drink and not so much to get stoned. Watch the covid numbers go up.
So what 2-3 ounces seized?
Like a 1/2 ounce of loud
with the prices these days you would think so. nothing short of robbery
But who’s setting the price ? It isn’t you and it isn’t me and it isn’t the government.
When things get too expensive I stop buying them.
A “high level of investigative work” and a “joint initiative”. I see what you did there, Antoine
Two points.
I thought it was being legalized? Get on with that! It will help the deficit numbers just reported.
Government has to wait for permission from the US before they can legalize it.
Why tho. Leave de ganja alone. Let us smoke in peace.
