Police found and seized over $314 million of "high-grade Colombian creepy" marijuana contained in 41 crocus bags, along with five crocus bags of cocaine, on October 1, in the South Western Division.

According to the police, the drugs were found stashed in an area in Palo Seco during an ongoing intelligence-led operation co-ordinated by the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU).

This operation included members of the Vetted Unit of TT. On November 14, the US and TT formally signed a memorandum of understanding, establishing the specialised Vetted Unit within the TT police service.
