The police service says it remains committed to aggressively targeting organised criminal activity and drug trafficking networks, as officers of the National Operations Task Force and Southern Division police found approximately 75.35 kilogrammes of marijuana during a raid of an apartment in San Fernando on October 18.

A release from the police service also urged the public to support the police’s efforts by reporting suspicious activity through official channels.

The release said acting on intelligence information, the officers went to an apartment at La Pique Street, San Fernando, under the authority of Section 12 of the Emergency Powers Regulations, where they executed a search. Three Spanish-speaking individuals were in the apartment. During a search, police allegedly found a white crocus bag and a brown cardboard box with 145 marijuana packages, weighing approximately 75.35 kilogrammes.
