Three men are in custody following a major police drug operation in Capuchin on Wednesday.
Two bags containing a substance “resembling cocaine and seven bags of alleged cannabis” were seized.
Police PRO, Inspector John Carbon, said the members of the Drug Squad, Task Force, Coast Guard and officers were conducting an anti-drug operation when what he described as “the illegal substances” were found in an open keel boat, powered by two 50 HP motors, named Anika.
Three men, all locals, were taken into police custody and are being questioned.
Investigations are ongoing, Carbon said.
now here it is people instead we run our mouths like we normally do just hear this once drugs come into dominica these days and the police stop it well they aint got a say in the load but if it passes well u kno we shall be clapping in our uniforms cause the shipment reach lmao
people these days……..
Poor fren they held u with thousands of euro now is with drugs well pray to God he alone can set you free.
We all may agree on one thing and that is! No one is above the law so,if you decide to take a chance don’t get caught.To get caught make you a fool and,if you support a fool,that makes you a bigger fool
Just came back from home for the Christmas, and when I saw what drugs are dong to our Yong people its heart breaking I really wish that there would be more bust and any how these killer drug can stay away from the hands of our people especially the younger ones I say thumbs up to you this drug squads excellence.keep up the good work.
How come I did not hear about silver lakes story
Some thing police go out of line and some time they must enforce the law stop complaining
Its about time to hold a drug bust, fellas smoking drugs on the street like is nothing… when police hold them give me a break, i wont give them break. TASK FORCE my #1 team.
What woould you guys have to say if the drugs ended up in your innocent. sons or daughters hands, we all know that there will be no turning back, my God what pain and suffering would the entire family endure. You know let the police do their jobs .in the case of those wanting to legalise you are obviously worthless people with no morales.
Alcohol and cigarettes don’t make much of a difference, have you asked yourself that question? They are sold all over the island. You should go petition the GOV to make them illegal. Why not legalize the rest so the poor man can rake in some cash, as well. I don’t use drugs, I do see society being unfair to the poor and needy.
But no one will write on the disruption which the police cause at 3am in Silver lake. Sending dogs to walk up on children while they sleep. Pointing guns at the single mothers, having the children witness the while they pin men on the ground to eat grass and dirt. Refusing to let the children leave the community to go to school and much more. Why is it that little regard is given to the most vulnerable among us? What goes around comes back around.
legalise the drug it have plenty use
You call that plenty use? What use? You have no sense. Are you one of those who ingest it or are a trafficker?
Ongoing medical problems, division in the family, loss of job, of funds, of family, brain damage, insanity, reduction to a life of poverty, a swift and premature death at a young age to eternity.
I wonder if these are the dealers the PM said that funding the UWP.
one ting it have sell out dat t savanne papa at morne pros does sell out sin eh
No in B.E they are and shut your red face!
Why fight the weed? America give you guns and boat to fight the weed. Check now they legalizing it for recreational purpose (up to one ounce) because they realize no need fighting it, and from an economical stand point the tax money coming from it is massive. Start a weed growers association and ship the weed, they kill banana start ship weed.
Skerrit must do something to uplift the people so they will stop go in drugs.
I wonder if is Skerritt that do that too?
…
If the country already hard why take away our means of survival?
Go and find a job or work the land , what a lame excuse .
if its a means of survival why dont you all give it to you family to use. if its not harmful pass it to ur family members let them enjoy what the users enjoying. charity begins at home. wicked souls
Don’t want to sound bias but if we ignored the law
and let the substances get free then you and your kids life won’t have much value due to the crimes associated with these. What if i said no punishment for murder? Some get caught and other don’t so it is but the law must be preserved. If your a hustler and got enuff 2 invest legally and quit but you dont and later get caught then YOU DESERVE THE HARTIMES!!!
I am glad the police officers are doing their jobs but the SAD thing about it is that those same policemen bring the same drugs back on the street, at the end of the day it’s just different dealers.
The government should sell the cannabis to Colorado and Washington DC and earn some foreign exchange.
Get this straight! Your comment is senseless and serves no useful purpose. You do not deserve thumbs up. Those who gave you thumbs up obviously think as you do for “Birds of a feather flock together” and “Show me your friends and I will show you who you are.”
No progressive country wants them. They are all fighting these drugs, catching those traffickers and prosecuting them.
Toronto is a much safer place now with many arrested and behind bars. Many black youths have been murdered in the past because of illegal drugs, trafficking in them and associating with such people.
Sadly, some young innocent victims were caught in their war as also some who tried to turn their life around and become good citizens.
The message is, “Stay away from drugs” and if you want to live a long, happy and fruitful life.
The police are not the ones to say Yes for sure this is cocain or this is weed, the experts have to test the substances to say that’s a drug and what drug it is…. Y allu angry at there things pple get killed when this things come to our shore cause the fellas get greedy
They have them man for one day no drugs was fine on boat they lie those cops always want to pin down a man
They have them man for one day no drugs was fine on boat they lie those cops always want to pin down a man

Bravo to you,nothing last forever
Here we go again! if you are not sure play it safe.THEY ARE POLICE NOT THE PROSECUTING OFFICER.tHIS IS WHAT INVESTIGATING IS ALL ABOUT.nO LOve,or manners but quick to condemn,relax and enjoy the laptop.Off and on we must have a laugh on those at the top.wake up my people life is here to enjoy where are you.deep down they are taking away daily bread.legalised I say
They know is cocaine. Free the Seven Bags of Canabis!
I agree! Go and break a house you’ll say “young men like alu, alu cannot go for hard work to do”
Go by Astaphans and work for minimum wage for ten years living in a lil box by the river you’ll say “so long the man working by astaphans in that lil job he cannot build a good house, he doe have no ambition”
Now go in the bush and work hard and not plant bush alu still sending cops up on us.
Plant veg. it rotten without sale. What do you expect a man to do live like a rat??? I don’t support the coke but marijuana is the way forward for Dominica. Land and water is our resource. If its not for a lil weed sum man sell you dragging no one will feed you, who feels knowz!
Ou toe sot! Zehzeh.
I understand but living a life dealing drugs is also not the answer.
Totally agree!! Free up the herb man!! Waste of police and govt resources to go chase man in bush for treez. Def agree with errything Musician Kid just said..
Let me inform you, Waddy Astaphan and his children could tell you how the elder Astaphan labored in D/ca and built his store/empire. He went from door to door selling his goods. He was one of those hard-working people to be admired. He had a vision, saw it, embraced it and made the most of the opportunity. Such D/cans should emulate him.
The thought is crossing my mind, by the way, he was a Catholic Christian, along with his family who attended Holy Mass and never missed a Sunday Mass. This should tell you something.
Those who plant vegetables could do likewise. Some people give up too easily. If they did not sell the vegetables so expensive, they would be sold. Furthermore, they will have vegetables to eat, to give to their family for their survival. Illegal drugs which are viewed as quick money, a quick rich scheme are not the answer.
Those who deal with drugs do not care two hoots about the health and welfare of those whom they sell it to. They do not care how poor those whom they sell it to are and where they get the money from as long as they are paid. If they are not paid, six feet deep for those who fail to pay them. You call this a good and overall healthy business? If you do, you are one sick mortally and spiritually person. Turn to God!
just like you
man i like dat what de hell dey want people to do free dem man
There is no one in custody and no drugs were not found thats a lie, i leave in the area and those men are all free
i hope the Parl Rep for the area is not a part of it.
You “leave” in the area?….hmmm…
That’s no news just do your job what’s the piont
but but but, some people vex man???
Polices gets richer n poor people suffer
“polices”?….wow…u are sooo intelligent
hmmm…the fact that you pointed out this
‘insignificant’ error makes you look more dumb!!
thickerz is a result of drugs coming into the country “polices”
According to the report, the police officers are not sure what they seized. “Substance resembling Cocaine and alleged cannabis.” So what is it they have? All you playing hoop, man,
unless the drugs has been sent sent to an analysis for testing.. the Police cant say that it is in fact cocaine.
How can they know is drugs when they don’t know what it is?
Fool these are law enforcement terms. It can’t be confirmed to be what they believe it may be, lest the proper analysis is done. Only then will they speak to actual cannabis and cocaine.
Yes wise man. So if when they “test” the “whatever” and find out it was not drugs; what happens? I just took you for a J.A.
What do you think it is? Flour or sugar?
white sugar?
jeeez… Are you that stupid
@4cars, when you lack education, as you have clearly demonstrated, these kinds of thoughts erupt from your mouth.
“a substance resembling cocaine?” Then whats the substance resembling cocaine?
It has to be tested before they can confirm what the substance is
maybe white powder demm vooodooo hatian does use
“resembling cocaine?” so then whats the drug resembling cocaine?
magnesia powder
White toothpaste.
Legally and logically the law cannot say it is COCAINE until it is tested and proven to be cocaine,so in the meantime it remains an “assumption” i guess
The case will vanish just like the drugs and everyone will go back to their old lives with the exception of some cops, whom will have bigger and more houses and cars! Shame for this country!
CHANGE IS A MUST <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I COULDNT AGREE MORE U TOOK THESE WORDS OUT MY MOUTH
Short yor .wen the police does a great job commend them instead of bashing them.Sacre boohoe marlfayteh allez
ou toe tebber (change] OU PASSA MEME SPELL paying most innocent as if everyone dont know bout dem pow pow dirty secrets oh who knows a pow pow maybe grinding u in the back or front
people doe tied bring drugs in the country
I am happy that officers are making drug bust. However, the constant house break ins and lack of police response. Especially in the country side
E Maama ..!
Carnival coming follow them under every rock, and take it to those agents of death, save our children and our country. Keep the pressure up! Great job by our Law enforcement agencies. We are praying for you all.
I guess the government did not turn a blind eye on this one. If I can recall clearly I have seen many instances of major drug busts on dno but it has been suggested lately that our young men are being forced to deal drugs for a living while our government turns a blind eye. This is also contrary to reports coming from the US and British.
So what is your point? The police made a drug bust. Does it mean that the government is not turning a blind eye? When did the police become the government?
Sac Sot. here is a piece of advice that i borrowed from Simply the Truth, ““Be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear, your fingers to the keyboard and touching “Sent”.”
Prior to commenting and even thinking, “Be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in gear, your fingers to the keyboard and touching “Sent”.
Not having a job is no reason to commit crimes and also to get a criminal record and probably be imprisoned. Do they not fear that?
Those people whom you speak of who do not have jobs, who are they?
What is their status?
Did they ever attend school?
If they did, did they complete school?
What type of jobs are they qualified to perform?What type of job experience they have, if any?
The above must first be determined prior to making the statement that they do not have jobs and blaming and accusing the PM for their failure to get and hold a job and contributing their fair share to the economy.
Smarten up and do not place the blame where it does not belong. How many times do you need to be informed that people are responsible for themselves? The way they make their bed it is the same manner they will lie in it.
The government does not own them. If they did not apply themselves while in school, are dropouts (some of them may never have attended school), what are they qualified for? What type of job could they obtain and hold?
Some of them are irresponsible people who are not good for anything. They have brought it upon themselves. The only area they appear to be proficient in is a non-law abiding one, some, drug trafficking which is unlawful.
Good job officers
