Major cocaine bust
Dominica News Online - Friday, August 10th, 2012 at 7:50 AM
The cocaine seized during Thursday’s bust
The police have arrested two individuals on drug charges in an operation several miles off the coast of Roseau.
The operation netted some 100,000 grams of cocaine.
According to Police PRO Inspector John Carbon, the illegal substance was found when members of the the Coast Guard, Customs and Drug Squad personnel of the Marine Unit intercepted an open keel boat at 10:30 pm on Thursday.
The boat, named “Just In Time”, was powered by two 200 HP engines.
The police have not released the names the individuals who were arrested.
Sources told DNO the cocaine is worth between EC $ 3-5 million.
Meanwhile members of the Drug Squad uprooted and destroyed 11,744 cannabis trees in the heights of Carholm in an operation on Thursday.
One man is being sought in connection with that operation, the police say.
The cannabis trees destroyed by police

@ IS True
Report the Corrupt Police – Call 1 800 HINT. See it, Hear it, Call it.
sell it and build a bigger jail
maybe if the government create more jobs, then less drugs would come in
so tell me why de prime minister love Venezuela like dat …..too much money not enough more money
All those that saying Police in that is jealous they jealous. The police living in big block house with two ride but all that is loans. They. Next to Clever and they not getting nothing and their plywood house falling on them. Maybe if they was selling out the Clever they wouldn’t b jealous of his friends.
That’s some serious “Weight.” I just hope that it’s accounted for during the upcoming trial. Sometimes, evidence mysteriously disappears from the evidence room.
The police was just in time to hold that boat…JustIN time
we going to hear some police dead too. because they just corrupted…canna unda stand that…hope u protecting urself my brother…and the polce woman that have d drug man grandbay there dey does neva hold him, cuz she standing by her man, doe matter wat…
dem man sellout we boy…the arresting but i hope wen the go court they sellout the police that in it…he want to be roughing up pple more but he no he in that business…
The rest of the shipment still in the shed. Next boat next 100 kg ready to go.this time is day time.
Why arrest a man for growing a plant? the plant God made, the soil is fertile. I can understand if the man is cought selling but not for growing a plant that can be used to make tea.
Thank God our officers did nto get injured. Less drugs to go around. Tip off or no tip off. Great Job!!!
@dominican pearl2 u talkin like them corruted bastard police themselves better.dominica right now is race plp beating to get rich,even those thats enforcing the law.so know what u talking about before u open your jaws.is the same police officers that say they upholding the law that abusing it the most,and who are they really protecting;anybody can be a victim.
Just in time. We caught them just in time. Could make a song or write a poem about that. Good job Officers. Keep it up to rid Dominica from such evil elements which specifically contaminate the minds and the life of youths.
We caught then, I did not know that you are a police officer/custom officer and,SIU officer/Drug Enforcement officer, oh yep not even in Toronto
As far as i know you are not a member of the Peel Police Services, the OPP nor the RCMP,so shut the hell up
Them drug fellas are idiots…
they not seeing police starting t catch all of them. 
Between 3-5 million dollars…hmmm thats a lot of money ehhh. The things that people do to make quick money…smh…so sad
i would like to no where all that cocaine coming from….and who is the money man behid that.that is cocaine papa…in lest then 2 months DA had 2 major cocaine bust.. it had a shooting in goodwill some ppl say cocaine that do that.well as i see it i just cover Dominica with the blood of Jesus…and speak life to the ppl…4 them shipment of cocaine there is death.
So hear that now…
1.) Them dealers and them police men, must have some sort of contact. And will you officers SHOW us what you do with the drugs that you all “bust.”
2.) Why don’t you teach those fellers a NASTY lesson for doing drugs like, “once you get in, you get out ROUGH so please stop.”
3.) The drugs doesn’t only satisfy them in wealth, it leaves families in grief. These dealers should not do this to people.
4.) GET STRAIGHT OFFICERS, STOP ENFORCING CERTAIN UNOFFICIAL AND ILLEGAL DRUG ACTS.
5.) Dominicans, stay strong!
Damn!!!Alot of prominent doctors and lawyers and businessmen wondering how they going to get that money back:Invest bigger on the next shipment.
is a vybes plannin to overload dominica shore wit more stuff lol
Thats just a big joke. Soon their lawyers will get them out on bail and they will be back at it in no time!!!! Just like the businessman from Bathestate who was out on bail and was arrested for a similar offence. He is out on bail again for the second time and the first case has not even been called.Go for the GOLD Miah!!!
Since like drugs past bread in dominica
BUST in TIME” The Drones are working we need one in every parish. We also need a Sea plane.
good job officers
These men who were caught bringing these poison to Dominica to pollute the minds of our children, are criminals and as such their pictures and that of the boat should be shown to the public.The police should not hide them.
I hope these drugs together with all the other ones that have been conficicated will be burnt in a public showing.
In the mean time the Gov’t should be creating jobs for all the young men who are seating on the side of the road every day. Although this is no excuse for going into crime.
The goernment does not directly create jobs except for the few that are created in the public services.(government workers).It is the job of the private sector(private business) to invest their money in different fields, such as manufacturing,services,construction, transportation etc.Lets not forget we live under a capitalist system of government.Please look up what is meant by the term capitalist system of government.
I find it so odd,. such a large quantity of cocaine going to an island where it is my understand the people have barely any money for the basics of life,.. there has to be more to these Cocaine busts than what I am reading. Curious to know where the final destination is… maybe more drone work for the yankees… with the drones over the carribean I think there will be a whole lot more of these busts coming. Good job DA Police for nabbing this nasty drug and the animals that deal it.
Dominica is a transit point, it dont stay there.
Ask them about the missing young men.
is them dat had the drugs
Iam in firm support that crack & coke should have zero tollerance to them, i am further concerned of the double standared that is involved in the trading of the drug, especially by the top brass.
I am against the police /the systm herassing the poor man trying to make a living with marijuana, marijuana has rescued several states economy when things go brown, we are now in real brown time, perhaps skero should take a page in Ralphs policy book, cause all over Vincy one will find ganga growing.
just google marijuana and look up the history and the positives of the plant.
Any time marijuana is ligalised the state will not make the amount of money it is accustomed to making, any time one hears of controle is because the route can be controlled by the catells, something has to happen to show that there is controle but we are not fooled by that we know the top boys do not want small fish to play in theit path.
Just in Time just ran out of time. That is a killer blow and you know somebody going to pay for it, one way or the other. Sometimes hard work really pays off, to the young ones, do not try to take the quick way out of poverty, work hard for what you want.
Respect just in time
lol somebody gona pay for dat ..another drug man must take the fall for the mmoney them big boys invest i waiting to hear who get killed
Jail dem for life , good job police you have our support
people killing pple and they out so what the hell
How come there have been a huge surge in drug bust this year?? Something not making sense, is not smarter the police have become for sure. An why do you measure large quantities in grams instead of kilograms to simplify things?
Could this just be a show to cover up for something greater?
Carson, wake up. Is not for nothing the U.S. gave us extra boats and equipment. We getting far better intelligence and now have little excuse not to act. Good work coastguard/police/customs!
It depends on who are the officers in the squad at the time for the most part. There was a time when some dedicated, honest, clean cops made up the anti drug squad and they made busts and arrests often, then the squad changed. These guys are clean for the most part. Well done guys
If u were listening to the new u would have learned that the U.S have out a drone over the Caribbean seas. So good luck drug dealers and runners.
Are you in Kindergarten?
@ Realist
It is a show to uncover something evil. Ever gave this a thought negative person?
Well done officers. Keep up the good work. However, I hope that all the cocaine found will be accounted for so as not to jeopardize the case,
wow bad news all that weed gone to waste
Some police woman or are you a perpetrator? Gone to your ‘waist’ which is why there was the major cocaine bust, so that it does not contribute to your demise.
you have cops making deals with drugs dealers just ask the past PC. how is it that the can find out who bringing the coke and the cannot charge the police that giving the drug men the information. it looks like a inside job the cops are protecting there own distribution out let according to PC.
Did they just get lucky or did they have a tip.
all of these major drug busts are initiated by tip offs
@ budman
You may have a good point. It makes good sense.
hmm they can find ppl with drugs on sea, miles off d coast, but they couldnt stay on it and look for those missing men. hmph!
is drugs alone dem police behind.
Why should the police go and search and rescue people that are bent on illegal activities.
Because they are still HUMAN BEINGS……. despite
Because they are human beings. There is good in everyone. Furthermore what you saying is just an allegation, you can determine people lives based on allegations.
this is probably not the smartest thing you have said this week.
is drugs the go for to destroy the youths… let them die!
@ PrettyS
Sad to say the missing men may have sunk with the boat or are they elsewhere where they have not yet been found or cannot be seen. Is someone holding them? Time will tell.
The only businesses doing well in Dominica is Drug Business. One businessperson said if it wasn’t for drug trade their business would fail, that is how all those well dressed UNEMPLOYED young women have cash to shop and bling! I always question the ‘so called’ fishermen who have big boats with 200 and 250 hp engines, 1st do they need that to fish? 2nd how can they afford it? simple. but GREAT JOB policemen, keep it up!!
what about the marine constables who own 2 Toyota RAV
bank own
Well done officers. Even if they say all you corrupt I wonder how is it all you and frustrating them drug men and women. Keep on walking on the straight and narrow path. All those that saying police crooked I beg them to sell out them crooked cops.
But onece you charge them you can release their names? Right? So what is the hold up?
DNO I want to know the names of the alleged Drug Dealers please.
2 200 HP engines?? My my my!!!
@ Marcus
Patience!
Thank you Teacher Mildred teacher William for doing all the correction
Guess what you all were out of time this time,not just in time,the name of the boat worked against you all that time.lol
man mus do drugs because they chaecking chiney taking all the job.
and to think in americathat a banks can be taken for performing transactions with certain countries….but when they get billions of dollars in cocaine money..they charge them a million dollars….
those in power do not want to put an end to the cocaine trade….simple
they have managed to control the production of meth ..by controlling the products that it is made of….because meth have a more serious impact on the family unit and the body than cocaine
it’s all a game me the little fish will keep paying the price
the war against rugs is a joke……you think they want to give up all that money
correction…a bank license can be taken
these kind of things will not end, where so much money is invoved, people will do whatever it takes to get it. God cannot lie, the LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL
@ smile
One day they will pay the price. God is patient. His eyes are on them.
Hmmmmmm…guess some people not going to be rich this weekend. Let me go play the lottery eh
Nor will they be rejoicing or sleeping well and in peace.
Stay safe bro.they can’t stop reggae
I wonder how much money does weed put into DA’s economy???
Look now even USA taking steps to legalize it.
I am leaving in america and that is not true
‘Living’. I am living in Canada and this is also not so. The drug addicts are trying but I doubt, specifically under the present Federal government, P.M. Harper, they will ever succeed. I like this PM. He is a Conservative. I have no doubt that he would like to weed out the undesirables, those who cause trouble and gun-totting murderers out of this country who are a menace to the Canadian society. I do not blame him one bit. I support him all the way.
what about the dirty cops that is in bed with the drug dealers. there is law for a poor man who has to send his kids to school, no jobs what do you want we the fellas on the block to do. them police in it to so why cant we plant some weed. jah bless
“Meanwhile members of the Drug Squad uprooted and destroyed 11,744 cannabis trees in the heights of Carholm in an operation on Thursday.”
Does anyone mind telling me where Carholm is? I’ve never heard of that place before. thanks
where d dam durst there
heights of st joseph..poorest community on de island
in the heights of St. joseph / mero
Dominicans excuses are there’s no job so we have to sell drugs (how lame), but everyday Haitian comes to our country and they working. So tell me, is it laziness or what….
Again this will continue, cause the fine is nothing,what the authorities need to do is to take everything them drugs dealers have houses, vehicles, money whatever the possess, and also fine then a hefty fine, send them up in the jail for ten or more years, until then they will continue their trade
Once caught them guys know that they will go back and buy some more cause they have the money and their homes, bank account etc are untouchable
it is laziness!!
good point!
100 keys!! Oh My God! Please save Dominica!
Can’t cocaine be recycled into some kind of organic high grade fertilizer or something? Almost seems as if millions are flushed down the toilet when national debts could be paid off in days!
100 keys.. well somebody gonna cry, choo poole for dem
no, somebody going to die.
thumbs up to the to this combined effort of police/customs. a job well done
Good job it is time
Well JUST IN TIME got caught. It was about time police start to run down cocaine runners.
Good Job cops
Keep it up the night is Darkest before the Dawn so things will get worse before they get better. Stay on the right path and get us through
ALWAYS GIVE A STREET VALUE BUST.
that’s more like it stop the drugs before it reaches our shores and not harassing a man smoking a little weed in his back yard or is that the big man an them in the force didn’t have a cut in this one
Good Work officers.

Everything doesn’t have to be political get it together.
Hurricane on it’s way let blame DLP. Some of us are so ignorant it’s not funny anymore.
@Love DA, Ignorance is when a Govt in power impoverishing its people lowering their standard of living and people like u condoning it, lower taxes, make life easier for Dominicans and i bet u will see a decrease in drug use, and yes God punishes nations with plagues & natural disaster when they SIN!
When will you ever say, something constructive? OH my goodness.
