Three people from El Socorro have been detained after police allegedly found 1,020 grammes of cannabis in an object thrown from their vehicle during a high-speed chase in Chaguanas.

The incident occurred during an intelligence-led operation by the Central Division Gang Unit as part of Operation R.E.S.O.L.U.T.E.

Officers from the Central Division Gang Unit were conducting surveillance at a gas station when they observed a black Toyota Prado entering the compound. Police continued monitoring the vehicle after it left the area and observed an object being thrown from its rear window.
