Seven Arrests, Drugs/Cash Seized, Dogs Removed
The police executed two search warrants where “several packages containing the suspected controlled drugs cocaine and cannabis,” a hydroponic system, chemicals and $85,000 in currencies were seized, with seven people arrested and “four illegal dogs” removed.
A police spokesperson said, “On Tuesday 7th February 2023, the Bermuda Police Service [BPS] Drugs Unit, assisted by the Criminal Investigations Unit, Financial Crimes Unit and Tactical Division, executed two search warrants at two residences in Devonshire and Smith’s parishes where several packages containing the suspected controlled drugs cocaine and cannabis were seized, with an estimated street value of $30,000 [Bermuda dollars], along with mixed currencies totalling in excess of $85,000.
“Seven persons have been arrested in relation to this operation and police also seized a hydroponic system, designed to grow cannabis indoors. In addition BPS officers, assisted by Animal Wardens, removed four illegal dogs from one of the properties that were searched.”
Acting Detective Superintendent Sherwin Joseph, who is in charge of the Crime Division, stated: “This operation has disrupted and dismantled the drug trafficking and money laundering activities of a drug trafficking ring here in Bermuda.
“Chemicals used in the illegal grow operation were also seized and will be further analysed by our Government analysts. The investigation is at a critical stage and no further information will be provided at this time.”
The spokesperson said, “The BPS Drugs Unit will continue investigations.”
The police think every indoor grow is a hydro systems when it’s just a indoor tent lmao
The police think every indoor grow is a hydro system when it’s just a grow a tent lol. The war on drugs solving nothing still & wasting money
UBP’s fault….
OBA’s fault….
Well done, BPS!????????
It’s just an indoor grow with lights,and they’re not chemicals they’re nutrients…BPS are so far behind on this
The BPS is behind on what? The function of the BPS is to enforce the law, not decide what the law should be.
If you want drugs to be legal in Bermuda, ask the PLP Government to change the law.
