Drug busts at checkpoints on the George Price Highway

Drug seizures are often the result of intelligence-led operations conducted by personnel from the police department or, in some cases, a collaborative interagency effort utilizing such information.  Whether police at a checkpoint along the George Price Highway were tipped off about narcotics onboard two individual passenger buses or the subsequent busts were the outcome of a random stop and search is anyone’s guess.  On Wednesday morning, officers stationed at the post stopped a BBOC bus and upon searching it, discovered a black sling bag containing one thousand, eight hundred grams or the equivalent of four pounds of cannabis.  A short while later, a Shaw’s bus was also pulled over.  Tucked beneath a seat was a pink and black schoolbag containing two thousand, twenty-five grams or roughly four and half pounds of cannabis.  In both instances the bags containing the drugs were not claimed and were labeled and deposited as found property.
