The Country may be independent but, there is a system we all have to stay within. There are rules,guidence, procedures and the Law we all must obey. When you are caught that’s means you are foolish. Support the Police to make Dominica a safe place to live. If you break the law you must be reform
My memory is serving me well and not too long ago the police conducted a raid in the Mahaut area where money was found and confiscated.There were differing amounts ascribed to the value of the money in police possession so up to today we have no idea how much money was actually in police hands.These incompetent guys just throw numbers around.But what do you expect when Carbon is in charge and on the heels of the dismal performance before, during and after hurricane Maria.It’s time to clean house
Just legalize marijuana to give the police more time and resources to go after three real problem, coke/crack.
People search your conscience…look around Roseau..what do you see? A Jeau paro. All over the city…we can’t walk without being accosted by paro. That’s the effect of cocaine…that’s the effect of the illicit drug trade. Please help our brothers…tell the police what you know and see
No arrests were made but I am sure they know who the drugs belong to. This is a big joke maybe they did not find any drugs but just want the gullible Dominicans to believe they are doing there jobs.
It’s time we stop wasting our resources and time in destroying a plant that is used as medicine. Get the cocaine and crack out but please leave the weed alone. Our laws do not reflect our reality.
The map was a nice touch since I was wondering where on earth is that place; thanks!
No arrests were made.!!!! what a joke !
So much drugs was found and only 1person was arrested. Scotts Head is infested with drugs. The sea and surrounding has become a major highway and hub for the drug kingpins.
Good job well done
If the Gov really wanted to bring in money, how about legalizing Marijuana?
Very soon it will be legal in Canada with rules…Doninica could follow and then you will money flow into the country.
Alcohol is legal yet so many ppl drink and drive, cigarettes are legal yet 2nd hand smoke is no big deal? I know the gov isn’t open minded enough to do but think about it!!
To the police amazing job on capturing the drugs now let’s see if you will actually continue to do your job when REAL problems occur.
