    Their country is in a mess. Instead of trying to get to another country, work hard and make something out of it, they are busy peddling drugs. I would send these bast*rds to prison for a very long time.

    Let them be. This is Caribbean integration at its finest. The men are simply integrating the Caribbean region, one crime at a time. Well done.

    Good bust, that’s all they do here. They don’t deal with weed except the one they mix with embalm fluid to send Gwada. they are regular in Lalay everyone sees them, if police do regular patrols they will see exactly where these guys live with the hard drugs.

    Spectacular work police. Dominica is a hub for drug smuggling and more pressure is needed to disrupt the flow of illegal drugs coming into the island. Once again Excellent work!!
