A 32-year-old man from Cunu­pia was ar­rest­ed on Wednes­day dur­ing a drug-re­lat­ed op­er­a­tion con­duct­ed by the South-West­ern Di­vi­sion­al Task Force.

The op­er­a­tion took place at 6:30 pm near the Star­bucks car park along the South Trunk Road in La Ro­maine.

Act­ing on in­tel­li­gence, Cpl Patrice led a team of of­fi­cers who con­duct­ed sur­veil­lance in the area.

Dur­ing the op­er­a­tion, of­fi­cers ap­proached a sil­ver Toy­ota Corol­la parked on the premis­es. The ve­hi­cle was oc­cu­pied by a lone male. A search was con­duct­ed, and of­fi­cers al­leged­ly dis­cov­ered three trans­par­ent plas­tic pack­ets con­tain­ing a to­tal of 64 grams of co­caine.

The sus­pect was ar­rest­ed on sus­pi­cion of pos­ses­sion of co­caine for the pur­pose of traf­fick­ing. He was then trans­port­ed to the Fyz­abad Po­lice Sta­tion, where he re­mains in cus­tody.
