En­quiries are con­tin­u­ing in­to the dis­cov­ery of a quan­ti­ty of mar­i­jua­na at the Port of Port of Spain on Mon­day morn­ing.

Po­lice said of­fi­cers of the Spe­cial In­ves­ti­ga­tions Unit (SIU) and the Na­tion­al Op­er­a­tions Task Force (NOTF) vis­it­ed the stor­age point for il­lic­it car­go at the port where they found two bar­rels.

In one of the bar­rels, po­lice found pack­ages con­tain­ing mar­i­jua­na hid­den be­neath cloth­ing.

The drugs weighed an es­ti­mat­ed 4.605 kilo­grams and had a street val­ue of $400,000.

Ac­cord­ing to the re­lease, the bar­rels were shipped from Fort My­ers, Flori­da, and were await­ing clear­ance.

The ex­er­cise was co-odri­nat­ed by DCP Op­er­a­tions Suzette Mar­tin, ACP Tac­ti­cal Sup­port Col­lis Hazel, with su­per­vi­sion from actin Supt Sanana and act­ing In­sp Pet­ti of the NOTF.

When Guardian Me­dia Ltd vis­it­ed the Port on Mon­day morn­ing, three po­lice ve­hi­cles were seen ex­it­ing the fa­cil­i­ty just af­ter mid­day as of­fi­cers com­plet­ed their seizure and en­quiries at the port.

No one was held in re­la­tion to the dis­cov­ery.
