    For a small country like Dominica to have all these high end drugs on its shores there must be high collaboration with upper class people who does not get searched at the entry ports due to their “Status” in the country , and so pass with these drugs.
    It is sad that we are brining in these poisons to spoil our own family members, because with such a small population we know we all are related in some way.

    Most of the people who smoke cocaine first smoked marijuana.

    People who smoke marijuana experience a nice high. It does them no noticeable harm at first. Then they learn that cocaine, heroine, and meth give an even better high. So they start using the hard stuff. Drug dealers sometimes sell marijuana because it helps introduce potential customers to cocaine.

    I am glad for every cocaine bust because this is a very dangerous drug. (a) You can’t be sure what you are getting. Some of what is sold has been cut and is a mixed substance. It has caused deaths. (b) Cocaine (especially crack) messes with the brain. It alters the personality. We have seen it turn successful men into the worst criminals. One wealthy business man in Ontario (a pillar in his church) began hanging out in the clubs using cocaine. He started sexually assaulting women, and finally hired a hit man to shoot his wife.

    I congratulate the police. Keep up the good work.

      Poor Rev. Donald Hill. D.D. The little man with the tiny limited brain cells who thinks he is able to teach others. Yet he fail to realize that he is a sheep stuck in a system created by the 1% to war against what is not only natural & sacred but anything which represent The Almighty…

      Why don’t you write this shit to the white men who teaches you about the evil of ganja, yet have gone to legalize it in many parts of the world where they are benefiting tremendously in revenue, medicinal & recreation while they keep the weak, easily manipulated & robotic people at bay.

        “… who thinks he is able to teach others.” You have just lost any credibility you might have had with people throughout the Caribbean, the U.S.A., Canada. and Europe who follow my teaching by means of my meetings, literature, CDs, DVDs, and the internet.

        ” … … a system created by the 1% … … ” By your reaction it is obvious this 1% is causing you considerable distress. This does not normally happen to people who know they are right. Since when does the 99% worry about 1% ?

        “Why don’t you write this s–t to the white men…” ? You are racist. You won’t find this kind of reference in my writings which by the way are read worldwide.

        Educated people address an issue objectively using the facts without getting personal and verbally attacking their opponent. They do not use slurs or resort to name calling.

        I had written about drugs. It was not about me. We were suppose to be discussing marijuana and cocaine.

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

    Hope they arrest these idiots that are trying to get people hooked on this crap. Sadly Dominica is changing daily and if nothing is done the very citizens of DA will be afraid to leave their doors open.
    With drug addictions comes theft because people will do anything to get high.

    I don’t know why the police putting out that kind of nonsense out because clearly they are not seeking the help of the public to hold these guys. Where incident took place? On EO Leblanc highway, which could be anywhere from Cainefield to Possie. Two men (no description of men) they fled, left bike and 19,000 grams of what appeared to be coke, broad day 8:30am, and police looking for them. No tag # of bike. Do they need help? Hell NO! Sounds like the same game played with 12 guns at the port last week. It is a fact that Coke, guns, ammunition and motorcycle usually go together. Any connection between this one and the guns and ammunitions that were conviniently found in what Tony (voice of Skerrit) said came in a BLUE barrel last week? Tony stressed blue barrel and not a red or brown one ok. Maybe we might need the FBI to help us here since they tipped local authorities about the BLUE barrel of guns

    Open high season, for more illegal activities, 100% against the agents of Deaths. Surfice it to say, who on God`s good Earth they made good their Escape? Do not expect an answer, cause Police cannot comment on their on going investigations. But on a Major High way Riding a motor cycle, and still manage to Escape???Smh. But they can Run but cannot hide, Maybe? Land, Sea, the Air operation is long over due, it cost money, i know. But are we waiting for them agents of death to have their own plane, for us to start considering same? Keeping it Real!! There`s more of us than them, Please do not let them get away.

    19,000 grammes is 19 k. or nearly 42 lbs. Why don’t the police talk in simple language that everyone understands. That is a hell of a loot of white powder! Glad though you intercepted that fellows. Someone will be hit deep in the pocket, where it really hurts. Now for God’s sake get mr., Big. Too much of this crap is going on but you only catching the small fry, the little fish.
