Four men have been arrested during what officials say was a major drug bust off the coast of Fond Cole on Saturday morning.
Police Public relations officer Sergeant Kent Matthew said the coast guard patrols of the police force intercepted two men of Massacre, one of Kingshill and another of New Town in two open keel boats powered by outboard engines.
“The incident occurred at 7 am on Saturday at sea, 5 miles west of Fond Cole. The men were in possession of 13,500 grams of cannabis, the approximate value of which is $327, 500,” he said.
He said the drug is believed to have been imported from St, Vincent.
“All four men have been arrested on suspicion on having to committed drug related offenses. The two boats have also been taken into custody,” he said.

you know what I can not stand, lazy people who wants to get rich by selling drugs and destroying the young lives of Dominica. If you all were prudent you would take into consideration the saying 99 days for the thief 1 day for the police. And now you all are busted time to rot u all lazy ass in jail. Most of dem deserve to be there, hard labour for a dime
Maybe is not even those guys weed,so there’s no rejoicing for their down fall they maybe just working, but there are many other avenues where drugs passes without hassel in our diffrent ports and the police knows about it yet can’t do anything.they are affraid of victimisation.when you think is the street man them that going back door for it is the bigger heads them that controaling the flow.trust me.
First of all, I doubt that’s a pic of the evidence. Second, this does not look like my treasured “Vincy Gold”. Looks like a pic straight out of Google…lol
okay!, They always quick to have some exorbitant figure for a “street value”.
Dominica wish it had weed that looked or smoked remotely close to what is in the picture so that the tourists would have a real reason to stay over.
Can’t stop it. Legalize it!
Weed will always flow like river.
Police need to Stop the coke and stop profiting from it!
legalize what? they not even legalizing a simple thing like the bom your mammie making.
ur a real idiot
I guess u will take it as a compliment since commonsense is foreign to ur brain
the officers are paid to do a job and stopping and protecting our borders is just one of them so lazy fellows go find a job and feed your families without fear…don’t you see what happens when the drug business gone bad..kidnapping families and killings..get a life and help to protect the youths..
Good jobs officers..U all need to find the bigger boss..who is responsible for this drugs smuggling..One day he will be caught..
wonder how these pple feel always having to watch their backs what a life and the sad thing is it never last forever and most of them never learn from their mistakes!
OH MY THAT PHOTO LOOKS DELICIOUS.I WOULD SMOKE A BIG ONE SO TONIGHT.ALL YOU GET SOME BUT ALL YOU CAN NEVER GET ALL.I WILL BE SMOKING A BIG ONE ON DEM POLICE AND COAST GUARD HEAD LATER.
For those who don’t know 13,500 Grams equal 29.76 Pounds. When is little bit they put it in grams for it to seems alot. so silly
How many ounces makes a pound though?
duh
YOUR RIGHT,BUT WHO WOULD WASTE THEIR TIME TO GO ALL THE WAY VINCY FOR JUST 30 POUNDS? 200 POUNDS MAYBE NOT 30.I THINK THERE’S MORE TO THIS.
free up them jean massacre.
dat not last year my broda allu try and take our weed and white we get in de sea les pointe.
we already kno we have our bail money
stupessssss well keep un doin it nonsense
keep the good job 
bail money ok what about the jail money?
YOU NOT SEEINGH HOW THEM LAWYERS LAUGHING ALL YOU TOO. IF YOU GO AND TRY TO WORK A LEGAL JOB THERE WILL BE LESS NEED FOR POLICE TO CHECK YOU AND FOR YOU TO GIVE LAWYER ALL YOUR MONEY.
Good job police dept and coast guard,keep it up save our country from those lazy trying to get rich quick bums,who are destroying our youth I live abroad and see first hand the devastating effect drugs have on young people,Dominica PD keep doing what you’re doing and bust those crooks that’s all I’m saying
well mayb if ur government was provindin jobs for the people the wouldn hav to think of getting rich quick. U abroad u nt d.a havin to think how u goin to support ur family or urself. U want dem to stay hungry while u havin big meals?
So much jobs in the bigger countries an is there it have drugs so u make no sense. Utter robbish what u say about jobs.
Could someone answer this for me…with all the rich soil and sunshine we have in Diminica, why would those guys wnt to import weed from st.Vincent? Our soil is just as rich as their’s, even more so…Makes no sense.
Forgive the spelling error…Instead of an “o” I typed in an “i” in Dominica…
We are not like St. Vincent. Police here cracking down on plantations.
st. vincent got the science and the technology way!! way back.
Uuummm Dominica has little or no work ……. hello? What are people on a whole supposed to do sit and wait and starve? Or should they start planting fruits and veggies to sell at a market with no people to sell to? Or to sell to the non existant intermediary between local farmers and markets? Oh no i have a better idea …… maybe they should sit and wait to see if once grown there is would be a means for export? Please. All this jesus and god talk to save the country ummm do you ppl realize that drugs have been here on this earth way before the word religion ever existed? (Dont answer cuz you dont know) Anyways i feel for DA yeh cuz we have to go to these means to provide and live well but hey if you werent doing it someone else would. And if this shit would just be legalized then it could be taxed …. money dominica would be the travel destination of the caribbean…. money (Do you know what that would do for tourism? Our economy? Hellooooo!!!) I say stop with the stupid rejoicing cuz two hungry men got caught take your heads out of your butts and get real.
so why is it that when these guys take a chance and get through they don’t leave that ricsky life and invest the money in some thing better? instead they go for a bigger shipment. the effective word there is greed and that is the price you pay for being too greedy. already you make so much in a wrong way causing so many lives to go astray yet you continue. that is just greed and wickedness and now you shall pay the price.GOD IS NOY A POLICE. GOD IS HELPING THE POLICE. so you think is GOD that helping them drug men to have safe shipments ? Is the devil that tempting them more and more untill they lose everything.I am sure that you understand what i have said. EDUCATION IS NOT COMMON SENSE.
To all my good friends supporting the inflow of drugs in Da i think you all should do some sould seeking and do some fasting. I know the impact, you know the imapct so give it up. if jah really wanted man to smoke he would have given you a chimny style pipe on your head.if it is for medicinal use fine but not to distroy the yut man. blessing
The richman snort the coke,the poor wise man smoke the weed in his pipe and meditate in his chambers, the drunk drink there rum inthere sewo drink and drive with no control.each tohis own,rasta rum and coke is for the paro,every body have a vise in life.ras when imam smoke the i work the hardest in what i do best you cant contest! check it out each to his own,live and let live.cha
Very good officers!! Continue to hunt down these criminal elements as they ought to be hunted.
THE PENALTY FOR COCAINE SHOULD BE 50 YRS IN PRISON. NO FINE.
DNO..are these special men or they are of the “noname” brand.
the are not charged yet so their names can not be published.
JOHN DOE HAS BEEN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF BEING IN POSSESSION OF X ,Y OR Z. THAT IS HOW THE POLICE SAYING IT ALL THE TIME. .
EXCELLENT JOB, COAST GUARD OFFICERS. I WOULD LIKE D.N.O TO INVESTIGATE FOR US THE REWARD OF THAT AND MORE HARD WORK.
WONDER WHETHER THE COMMISSIONER REALIZES THAT THESE MEN FORMS PART OF THE POLICE FORCE, AND ALSO SOME ARE OVER DUE FOR INCENTIVES LIKE PROMOTION. THANK YOU FOR POSTING.
WOW SO SWEET. WELL THEY CAN RISK THEIR LIVES EVERYDAY SO BUT I HEAR IN THAT POLICE FORCE THERE PROMOTION IS VERY POLITICAL AND PULL STRING.HO ABOUT SALARY INCREASES , DUTY FREE FOR PRIVATE VEHICLE AND FIRE ARMS FOR THE POLICE.HOW ABOUT SHOLARSHIPS. I WONDER WHICH UNION REPRESENTS THESE HARD WORKING CONSTABLES WHO SPEND 20 AND 30 YEARS SERVING OUR LAND TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITIES. DO YOU KNOW WAHT IT IS LIKE TO GIVE ALL YOU YOUTH TO YOUR CONUTRY IN A JOB LIKE THIS ONE? ASK THE POLITICIANS.
Natasha and Rastaman 137, u all need to shut up and grow up. The only healing for the nation is Jesus. Sets of fools. Go get a decent job. LAZY…
No need for insults. . These people could have decent jobs.
Jesus is the healing of the nation but thats their opinion on the matter. Thats how they feel about Marijuana.. they are entitiled to post how they feel.. if DNO didn’t approve SHE would delete it.
IF I WERE TO GIVE RASTA37 CHILD A SPLIFF MIX WITH CRACK THEN HE WOULD AWAKE TO FACE THE REALITY OUT THERE.
Is that a picture of marijuana bush? Oh my, this must be a new kind. I’ve never seen ganga leaf looking round like that!
the good kind! watch it good!
GOOD FOR ASTHMA, CLUCOMA,NUMERATROMBOSIS, AND FOR CRUKID POLITICIANS, IT GROWS OUT OF THE NGROUND LIKE BANANAS.
SO WHY SMOKE IT TO KILL YOU FASTER? DO YOU KNOW WAHT SMOKE DOES TO MEAT OR FISH? TRY IT AT HOME.WHO SAY YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT VINCIE , RISKING YOUR LIFE BECAUSE IT IS GOOD FOR ASTHMA? WISE UP MAN COMMON SENSE.
let the weed floww.. marijuana is NOT a drug, its time they get it…
@ Natasha …It is illegal in our country. There are parts of the world where it is legal and there are parts where it is used as a Medicinal Herb.. but we all know that these guys were not goin to use it for medicine. So the police officers are doing their jobs but capturing these guys.
Now Rastaman 137 if the police decide that they going to sell it then the hand of God will be upon them.. cause how can you arrest and charge a man for doing something illegal and you doing it to? Is it an issue of DON”T DO BUT LET ME DO in Dominica?
Thats not right and its about time we start STANDING UP and SPEAKING against these things.
chek you dictionary
check you dictionary
Thats real st Vincent weed< goody queality iwoulda leak some of that weed meson wicked weed st.vincent always got the best nuff respect, just a pity!! police police gona sell that we dread, iwould like some for me head. jah!!! babylon again!! leave de weed alone let it grow, for the healing of de nation.
Desperate men do desperate things.
I don’t get it… is it that these young men don’t want to work or do they just love the quick money scheme?! Men risking their lives for weed.. weed brings money and love money is the root of evil.
Its just a shame. just a shame!!!
I hope after their case is done and the weed has been seen as evidence that the Drug Officers do the right thing with it.
sell it,
You need to shut up
Burn it!Hopefully within your eyesight so you can “knash your teeth”!
IF YOUR SO BELIEVE THESE ARE THE ISSUES YOU MUST CHALLENDE YOUR POLITICIANS ABOUT. MAKE THERE BE A WAY WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN WITNESS THE DESTROYING OF IT. REMEMBER WE ARE ONE FLAG ONE PEOPLE ONE NATION GET INVOLVED IN A POSITIVE WAY MAN FOR THE SAKE OF THE YOUNGER ONES.
You have it wrong… Lack of money is the root of all evil…..
@caribean genius.. i agree with that statement too! so very true.
Yeah talk that “money is the root of all evil” let me see you live with out that s***. Weed brings money? Your job brings money too thats IF you have a job cuz seems like you scorn money i wonder if you didnt have money how you would be able to sit up on the net spreading your good gospel word. Lack of money as someone said is the root of all evil let me see if you didnt have money and needed to wipe your a** and feed your children what you would do. GET REAL.
@ HAhaha I really don’t get you ppl on DNO… post your comment about the issue. You just talkin a bunch of crap.
If i didn’t have money risking my life to sell weed would not be what i would do to survive.
Ummm at 767 blow me ….. I wasnt specifically commenting about the issue i was responding to a comment. If you didnt have money and no means to make it legally like by getting a job which is so hard in Dominica what would you do? Grow dasheen? Or risk your life not doing anything and die slowly? Oh but there is also one more option to sell your ass. Well me myself i prefer pushing some weed to sustain myself and take care of my family than doing any of the above. You seem to be living in a world different from most dominicans, who go to school and cant get a job, lots of knowledge put to no good use. And its not crap its reality maybe your not living it but many many dominicans are. GET REAL
correction, men is the root of all evil….
alyou happy alyou tickets will buy and alyou woman and wifes fridge will full
HOLD THEN DOWN, GOOD WORK POLICE OFFICERS
baldhead rasta cha! go burn some weed ras….asstaman.
