Two men from Portsmouth have been arrested and charged by the St. Lucia Marine Police for possession, importation and intent to supply an illegal drug.
They have been identified as Germaine Lamothe, 46, and 27-year-old Zuff Joel William.
They were reportedly found with 186.43 kilos of marijuana in a boat off the coast of St. Lucia.
A release from the police from that island reveals that on Thursday, May 16 a boat was intercepted two miles west of Castries Harbour within the territorial waters of St Lucia.
The boat was identified by the markings “Provider” and bore the registration number J7-065-STE. At the time of the interception, there were two male occupants on board. They were later identified as Dominicans.
Also on that vessel, were a number of polythene bags. Under police escort, the vessel was moored to the Marine base where a thorough search was conducted.
Fourteen polythene bags in total were found on the boat, each containing dry green plant materials suspected to be Cannabis.
The bags had an accumulative weight of 411lbs or 186.43 kilos.
The two Dominicans were detained and later charged for the offences of Possession of a Controlled Drug, Possession with the Intent to Supply a Controlled Drug and Importation of a Controlled Drug.
They are to appear in court at a later date.
This is the second time in two months that Dominicans have been nabbed for drug trafficking in St. Lucia.
On March 15, 2013, two fishermen from Roseau, Dominica — Alex James, 39, and Rawlins Rolle, 33 — were arrested and charged in connection with a large drug seizure in the south of the island.
According the St. Lucia police, officers attached to the Marine Unit of the southern division intercepted a blue, orange and black boat named “Von Von,” 8.2 nautical miles south of Gros Piton, Soufriere in the island’s territorial waters.
The boat was searched and 1,487.2 pounds of cannabis were found.
Zuff, aka Chucky from Bath Road/Kingshill/Newtown area certainly not Portsmouth. One down many more to go. The papa is sitting well in the South whilst these idiots are rotting in jail! Serve all u right!
gassor that is alot of zeb!!! where dem man harvest that boy?
carbon can say praise god for the st lucian police, because if they didn’t catch them they would pass free in dominica… what a waste of time bunch of police in dominica, all they can do is play politics for promotion… t
THUG LIFE!
such ignorance! what better life can you give your children that you didn’t have? I wish i had the opportunity of getting free school like your children have today. i have a good life, cause i retained the little i was taught in my days. Why does it have to be drugs, to give us a better life? material name brand is that what is a good life for you? wanna too greedy, that’s why they should give them some harsh punishment, so others can learn
war on drugs is useless… arrest two2 another two will pick from where the last two left off..if it was legalized that would reduce its value and thus ppl wont even bother to traffic it… do you see anybody trying to traffic cigarette and alcohol…think about it
Gone fishing, POOR EXCUSE. Life is sweet, life is short. Stop giving your families GRIEF. You do not need much, you need LOVE.
That’s one small catch.
..to deflect them while the BIG shipment slides through… 
In some islands south of St Lucia the government looks the other way so they grow & export. In Dominica crops get destroyed hence the importation. Dominican authorities need to learn from the US states that allow it and some OECS unwritten policies towards it. Its only common economic sense.
Portsmouth is a laybar strong hold, serve them right sot they sot to vote dem fellas!
That’s a lot of grass in a short space of time. Where’s the plantation
Tool dats a lot of green son wtf
I am surprised that they continue to take chances. It appears that they will never cease. Pleased that they were caught. Will the others ever learn?
ok b4 i used to think this marijuana thing was bad . but after living in this country call america and, maybe they were he ones fueling these little island with the notion that it is bad because they see that was a huge money making business they came up with this idea until they could find a way to see how they would grow their own .now they growing it see they start making it legal. and up to last nite i heard they said on the news it`s good for weight lose and diabities. my advise to these small islands legalize this thing and get the economy going
dere mite be some tut in wat us say. remember our coconuts?
Nj I agree with you 100%. I saw the same program on CNN. There are states here within the US that are legalizing it for economic gain. The question is why can’t we in the islands do the same? Is it because our political leaders are so used to begging the US and other developed countries they fail to see the opportunity to build their economies? Maybe they’re scared the handouts will end if they legalize it. TEACH A MAN TO FISH..I SAY TEACH A MAN TO PLANT
We do not legalise Coffee, cocoa sugar cane and so on, marijuana is a natural grown herb blessed by the creator, criminalised by an American president with the view of making money, our pupet governments just towing the line and killing our own people for use of a natural herb, judgement day will come then we shall see who is the biggest criminal.
Do not legalise just decreminalize!!!
you lie you from penville! and u still in penville never leave island. lol
I hope they get a stiff jail sentence!
hope yu nt a drug dealer.n even though they get a stiff sentenced dat wnt bring dem dwn.today is there’s tomorrow might be yurs
like 2pac said we were born poor and the system is designed for poor people to remain poor. We don’t do these things because we want to we do it because we have to in other to survive.. We want to send our kids to nicer school than we did, give there the education and finer things life we didn’t get. so for this reason we will keep smuggling until we get what we need..
it’s not our fault it’s just a thug life..
So until the politicians put measures in place to that poor people or people from the ghetto can leave comfortably like Tony and his family we will die trying.. Thug On
Thug Life, what happened to good of FARMING? Banana, Cocoa, Coconut, Yam, Dasheen, Tania, and all that stuff that our parents used to sell to send us to school. SWEAT, brother. You do not have to sell DRUGS of any kind to send your children to school. We went to school, we did get the best of education, all of that on good old SWEAT. If you think this is the way out, you have a grand way of educating your children. I say, DO NOT BRING YOUR DRUGS TO THE OTHER MAN’S LAND. KEEP IT ON YOUR TURF.
real tlkl

the trade went successful,this increases the money supply in the economy thus increases demand for goods and services in return creates jobs and decrease unemployment..So why burn all that money?
but anyways “good job st Lucia” i guess..:)
GOOD JOB ST. LUCIA. We also should say GOOD JOB to all the Islands that capture DRUG TRAFFICKERS. This should stop. EASY MONEY, yeah, LIVES LOST, FAMILIES DISORIENTED. STOP.
Ganja not a drug. Legalize do ting! Hey, maybe Dominica should do that & improve the economy by becoming one of the 1st countries where it’s legal, so many people will come here do di holy herb, like people do in Amsterdam
Legalize my …. and see how fast you’ll be smoked.
its a drug! where on earth did you go to school? do you know the definition of ‘drugs’? and it is illegal.
yes and by that definition it is still in unclear waters.
Do you know that in lethality cigs and alcohol can kill u in a shorter space of time?
Reason: Chemicals!!!
In the case of the ganja vs other “controlled substances”, ganja wins.
Reason: It makes u feel good, sleepy and hungry. It helps with weight-loss.
Good idea ,but the U.N. will come after you with their thugs. They want ALL the money…….will leave you poor.
Legalize it…..
Amen
Yes, you legalise drugs. What a good idea it would be to see those smoking ruin their lives, that of their children, oh, and not forgetting the future generation. You are fools if you believe that marijuana is a soft drug that does no harm. IT IS A MIND ALTERING DRUG THAT DOES LONG TERM DAMAGE- GO EDUCATE YOURSELVES ABOUT THE DANGERS OF ANY OF THESE TYPES OF DRUGS.
I don’t support any type of illegal activities but the last time I check, Alcohol and cigarettes kill more people everyday than marijuana and they are both legal. Most of the medicine you buy legally at a drugs have a greater side effect than marijuana. Unlike most drugs, Marijuana is a depressant and not a stimulant. Yes it may have long term effects but so does alcohol and cigarettes. They need to legalize it and tax it hard. The whole world could benefit from that. Just remember Alcohol and Cigarettes were illegal back in the day. people went to jail for it and not its ok because the government figure out a way to make money on it.
Mind altering…hmmm. Do you know that alot of the “good” music of the older generations… ole skool if u will, were acted out by intoxicated humans?
Some of the best poems out there come from stoners.
I’ve seen this particular substance, bring people together…who were recently at each others necks for blood.
The system is designed to make you think like puppets.
Think 1st, act maybe. That’s how it has you all fooled.
All of you in your 33 degrees don’t like the sensanilia because, it has the ability to make a man wiser (no additives), not smarter.
The system doesn’t like us wise.
Also, with legalization, if it happens, certain laws can be passed to assist this, so that we can still have a control on this substance and possible visits from drug lords across the board.
This will save a lot more of our tax paid moneys.
If the drugs are legalized, there will be actually a drop in their use, as has been proven before in history, as well the price will drop. The mafia doesn’t want that to happen. They are making too much money by keeping drugs illegal.
Then again, the pot heads don’t care. There are people that will become addicted to it and have their mental capacity altered by it and there are also people that can smoke the stuff for years and still not fall under the heading of being altered by it. Drugs and herbs to not affect everyone the same way.
Good job officers from St. Lucia, is time we put the brakes on them DRUGS TRAFFICERS
Gamara them not learning boy. At the end of the day is it worth it?
Gamara do not want to change. He like de life! Hope that life doe take his life too!
