Port se­cu­ri­ty and the Cus­toms and Ex­cise Di­vi­sion are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the ship­ment of ap­prox­i­mate­ly US$2 mil­lion in cur­ren­cy that was found in a con­tain­er at the Port of Point Lisas on Fri­day.

A re­lease from the Point Lisas In­dus­tri­al Port De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny (Plipde­co) yes­ter­day stat­ed that the car­go con­tain­ing the mon­ey ar­rived in Trinidad on Wednes­day aboard one of the com­pa­ny's sched­uled con­tain­er car­ri­ers.

Us­ing nor­mal pro­to­col, the cus­toms of­fi­cers and port of­fi­cers re­ferred a flat rack con­tain­ing ply­board to the Point Lisas Con­tain­er Ex­am­i­na­tion Sta­tion (CES) for fur­ther re­view. At the CES, the con­tents were checked by cus­toms and po­lice of­fi­cers who dis­cov­ered the mon­ey.

The re­lease said in­ves­ti­ga­tions by cus­toms of­fi­cers and po­lice were con­tin­u­ing but Cou­va po­lice said they had no re­port of the find.

An of­fi­cer ex­plained that the Cus­toms and Ex­cise Di­vi­sion had the au­thor­i­ty to con­duct its own in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
