Po­lice of­fi­cers con­tin­ued to clamp down on the drug traf­fick­ing trade af­ter seiz­ing $1.5 mil­lion worth in mar­i­jua­na on Sun­day.This time, North­ern East­ern Di­vi­sion Po­lice and of­fi­cers from the K-9 Unit went to the hills off the North Coast where they found the drugs. In an ex­er­cise last­ing some six hours, from 6 am-12 pm, some 150 ki­los of com­pressed mar­i­jua­na were found by Cpls Dar­ryl La Pierre, Ker­win Titre and Ri­car­do Williams, to­geth­er with PCs Ja­son Sandy, Patrick An­toine, Ron­nie Voi­sion, Amir Ali and Ryan Dun­can and K-9 op­er­a­tives PCs Ke­ston Acres and Mar­lon King.

Track­er dogs, Rox­i­ta and Broody, led the team of of­fi­cers to the stash of over 10 cro­cus bags, some two miles in­to Rin­con Road, Las Cuevas.The bags were found in an aban­doned field but the own­ers were nowhere to be found.Al­so Sun­day, the team of North East­ern Di­vi­sion of­fi­cers, led by Cpl La Pierre, went to an aban­doned lot in the Mal­oney area where they re­cov­ered a loaded sawed-off, dou­ble bar­rel shot­gun.The of­fi­cers had re­ceived in­for­ma­tion and went in search of the firearm, which was loaded with two 12-gauge car­tridges. No one was ar­rest­ed. In­quiries are con­tin­u­ing in­to both finds.
