A 22-year-old British na­tion­al is ex­pect­ed to face charges af­ter of­fi­cers of the Cus­toms and Ex­cise Di­vi­sion in­ter­cept­ed near­ly TT$6 mil­lion worth of mar­i­jua­na at the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port on Sun­day.

The di­vi­sion said the pas­sen­ger was stopped dur­ing rou­tine clear­ance op­er­a­tions at the air­port and re­ferred to the Red Line for a more de­tailed ex­am­i­na­tion of lug­gage.

Dur­ing the search, Cus­toms of­fi­cers al­leged­ly dis­cov­ered a quan­ti­ty of plant-like ma­te­r­i­al con­cealed in­side the pas­sen­ger’s bag­gage. Of­fi­cers at­tached to the Pre­ven­tive Branch were con­tact­ed and re­spond­ed to the scene.
