They should list it on custom’s new auction website
A great job by Customs as it shows that not all persons employed by Customs are involved in smuggling drugs to the Island.
It’s just a pity that officers at times, are degraded by senior managers
To the officers who performed their duties and follow procedures, keep up the good work
Just make it legal they had nerve to say how much it get on street that means it even more in stores
