The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF)has charged a fourth person in connection to the 200-kilo major cocaine drug bust which took place at Brandywine Bay in January this year.
This is according to a recent media release from the RVIPF which confirmed the fourth person as 25-year-old Delaino Johnney who is presently remanded at Her Majesty’s Prison in Balsam Ghut for unrelated gun charges.
Police said Johnney was officially charged on Thursday August 12 with possession of a control drug with intent to supply.
The Vincentian national will appear at the Magistrate’s Court at the next available sitting.
Police had previously arrested three persons in relation to the 200 kilos of cocaine seized. Troy St. Helen, 39, of Jennings Hill, Shaun Massicott, 28, of East End and Devon Bedford of Harrigan Estate were the three charged with possession of a controlled drug with intent to supply and being concerned with the supply of a controlled drug.
During the January 19th operation, officers of the RVIPF intercepted a rental vehicle. A search of that vehicle uncovered a large quantity of cocaine. A subsequent search of a second vehicle uncovered a smaller quantity of cocaine. A boat was seized as part of that operation.
