Just four days after an operation in which eight pounds, six ounces of Hashish Oil were seized and two Vincentian nationals were arrested, the Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP) has recorded another success.
On Friday 12th August, 2016, the ONDCP conducted a counter-drug operation in the Big Creek and Golden Grove areas. This resulted in the arrest of four persons, two Antiguan males 27-year-old Mark JOHN and 30-year-old Kimron JOHN, an Antiguan female, 24-year-old Makeesha HENRY and a Vincentian male, 35-year-old Steve BROWN.
A total of approximately six hundred and ninety-seven (697) pounds of compressed Cannabis were also seized. The Cannabis, which originated from St. Vincent, has an estimated wholesale value of One Million Three Hundred and Ninety-Five Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars (ECD$1,395,250).
The quartet is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday 16th August, 2016 to answer to several drug related charges.
