Over 330 pounds of cocaine has been confiscated by the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force during a vehicle interception. However, the driver has escaped.
This was confirmed by an official report sent out by Information officer, Dianne Drayton of the RVIPF who said “during an operation in the early hours of Tuesday, 19 January 2021, members of the RVIPF seized a quantity of suspected cocaine in a rental vehicle intercepted in the Hodge’s Creek area. The driver of the vehicle made his escape. A total five bales, weighing in excess of 150 kilos, was recovered in the vehicle. A vessel connected to the drug seizure was also located in the Brandy Wine area and seized by officers.”
“A search of another vehicle during the investigations uncovered another four kilos of cannabis. One person has been arrested on suspicion in connection with the drugs found in this vehicle,” Ms Drayton further added.
The investigation remains live and ongoing and therefore no other information can be released at this time.
