A police officer assigned to the Anti-Extortion Unit of the TTPS, was among two men detained in a boat along the Caroni River on December 10, hours before the police carried out a massive $171 million marijuana seizure in the nearby Caroni Swamp.

The officer and the other man have since been charged with a series of firearms-related offences.

Police have stressed that no one was arrested in connection with the multi-million drug bust in the swamp, which was aided by the US military-grade radar in Tobago.
