Authorities in Dominica have confirmed to Dominica News Online that a well known businessman was taken into custody in the United Kingdom.
Reports are that the man, who is from Newtown, was arrested earlier this week at London’s Gatwick International Airport.
Dominica News Online is awaiting details from the relevant authorities about the circumstances surrounding the man’s arrest.
His name cannot be published since he has not been charged with any crime.
DNO is monitoring this story.
There is an update in another news item. It may make sense if put an annex to this story so someone who reads this may know that there is follow up.
Shakes boy, so what about the fish and chips EH ? de money you make on that not enough for you?
thank the british and french police they doing their job. like police should , the drug traffickers will not be on the street on bail ,

This leaves the big question “why did the British manage to do what our own law enforcement officers could not”???

All those “fishermen” caught at sea were “businessmen.”
Here I DA he is a local business man, but over in England he is known as a drug dealer. Best we send our local cops for training in England we pal.
Here is some news on this matter
46 kg of cocaine, 60 kg of cannabis and more than 91,000 euros seized… 7 those detained… This is the balance sheet of a survey of more than five months of the Direction interregional de Police (DIPJ) who has finally borne fruit.
This afternoon, some details related to the investigation were revealed by the Prosecutor, Guy Etienne and the Director of DIPJ, Philippe Touyet at a press conference.
Six arrests in Guadeloupe
After a preliminary investigation, the opening of a judicial inquiry and rogatory from a juge d’instruction of Pointe-à-Pitre, 6 individuals, 5 Dominicais and a Guadeloupe were shut down Sunday. They arrived in the morning on a beach, from Dominica. Aboard their boat, 46 kg of cocaine, more than 60 kg of cannabis, 91,000 euros in cash and weapons. The six men were arrested a few hours after their arrival, presented before a judge in immediate appearance before being placed in detention.
An arrest in London
The seventh trafficker, him, regarded as the head of the network was arrested in London, the same day as his accomplices. An arrest made possible because, leaving Dominica for England, it was entered into the Schengen area therefore subjected to police checks reinforced. He was arrested by London police with a warrant to bring international. The France can now request his extradition.
This network was followed for some time. Thus, the investigation could confirm once again that Guadeloupe was a strategic point traffic between South America and Europe. In recent years, the cases of this type are increasing. In five months, this network has increased more than 166 kg of cocaine and not less than 680 000 euros by the Department.
domnitchen,zot ka kwitiké DNO,mé zot bien kontan’ vini ladgé toute venin zot anlè site DNO!DI mèci DNO,bann’ salopwi!dominicans ,you criticise DNO ,but you are glad to come drop your venom on DNO;Say thank you to DNO b..s…people
Dno don’t let Dominican give you all no stress the job you are doing with the heading FREE……. is appreciated in the USA you get BREAKING NEWS because they want to bring the happening as soon as possible and then later the full story comes DNO my people to like beff they know before you put it on line don’t go into no fight without your 2×4 take your time you all are professionals keep up the good work
When we human being have dirty ways no matter who we are, and where we go, it follows us. Take a pig and put it in a Palace, it is still a pig. The person have been arrested, so there is something he has done. Too many people in position in Dominica have nasty ways. They can get away in Dominica, but when they go overseas, they sure will eventually get caught.
Ninety nine days for a thief, but one day for a watchman. Whatever happens in the dark, must come to light, and it starts with even me.
Could not have said it better.
I smell a rat here. First, 7 men are arrested in guadeloupe. Then this man is arrested at an airport in the uk
what happen,earthquake pass so de place shake? There cries from the tomb have reached heaven and the angel went on a mission to to find the offender. Jesus was at Lazarus’ grave four days late but he was still on time. Prayers still work.
It is so simple to know whom that person is. It is not their first time in trouble in another country…Nuff Said.
Did you say milk shakes
boi i fraid for my cousin. i shaking. i have the shakes
i am not rejoicing, but karma is a bitch
DNO wait until you have a story.
I suspect the person involved went fishing as usual but was hungry so he ate a dry “bakes”
Dominicans love a beff. If you dont give us one we will make up one! Some of us wont be able to digest our supper until we get the name. LOL!
HA! true dat… including me…
Or sleep in order to rest their bodies in peace for the night.
DNO need to learn how to shake their body better than that after all news is news and this is news he was arrested and that’s a fact so why cant you say WHO was arrested. was he arrested? yes. so if he was arrested why cant DNO say. lol
Concerned, u too nosey lol Wait! U too busy!
GUADELOUPE 1ère the french radio, reporting tonight the republicain prosecutor had a press point where he announce seven men have been arreste in Guadeloupe, six of them are from dominica, one is from Guadeloupe, and one from domiica has been arrested in UK after he leave dominica yeserday. They are involved in a cocain traffic and that is thank of coopération between europeans forces, domincan and guadloupes forces they have put hand on these men.
The authorities have them under surveillance and also tap their phone lines and they are not aware of it. That may be the reason why they were caught.
Businessman my..
Dominicans r calling #$$ like this businessman.
He must have done something wrong
Yes and not something good.
Well is now ppl not gan get ketchup for der fish n chips LMAO
HAHAHAHAHA
I get it. I get it.
HAHAHAHA say no more
DNO can hide all they want
Tell us about it na? U seem to know something DNO is hiding. A Likle weekend beff to hipe up the spot…..a break from the politics talk.
I tell you Sometimes DNO is like a real Comedy Central , that Comment had me bawling !! You will have to walk with your ketchup . LOL !
Where is the update on the Calypsonian that was caught with Cocain! Chupes
He was supposed to be in court today but the police did not bring him.
What flipping update u want?
he is at pmh..asthma and high sugar
DNO why are you deleting my comments?
they obviously didn’t delete that one
Read the terms of service
vanya what black list u talking about.didnt u hear that dominica was on no black list.listen to news and read more
Typical Dominicans to shame down a man before you even know what transpired. All you people ever do is complain and drag each other down. Pitiful
Is there smoke without fire?
DNO, is this a new law in Dominica that you should not call name before a person is charged? If that’s the case they you sure broke that law last week when you reported that Earl Grant (Seco) was arrested upon his arrival to Dominica and it was not until two days later he was charged. How consistent! To me, if you cannot call name until charged then you should wait until the person is charged before you publish. Then again Dominica is a place where people like beth and therefore I understand why you have pung your beth too.
The Seco Grant case was different u idiot…..Grant’s name was released to the press by the DPP who said that he was wanted for questioning in the case.
He did not come to Dominica incognito and was arrested. His name was already in the public domain and the matter was already public knowledge.
If Seco’s name was used by the DPP or he was not so public and he came to DA and was arrested for, say a pound of cocaine, I would not expect his name in the press.
Are you on a mission to get at me at all cost, you BIG FOOL? Did I address you? Are you DNO, you BIG IDIOT? I know you do not like the questions I am raising concerning the DLP so you think by calling me names you will stop me. But you must be joking you ! FYI, I follow news from the free world and for the past two weeks, persons have been arrested without being charged in the USA for putting ricin in letters addressed to Obama and Bloomberg. From the moment arrest was made by FBI, CNN, NBC,ABC, FOX and others called names to the world. I guess you are not as smart as you think you!
In case you are too blind to get my point, all I am simply saying to DNO is, if they are not permitted by law to release information until a person is charged then wait until everything is cleared before they put it out. By putting out such article that they said they got from local authorities opens the door for speculation, and no wonder someone asked if it is Sukie, since he is a known businessman from Newtown.
You are the “idiot”. In this same issue of DNO they name the priest from Grand Bay whom some woman alleges molested her 19 years ago. No proof, no trial, no conviction. They did not mane the accuser. Is this fair and balanced?
In London, there are 2 reasons to why you get picked up from an airport
1- terrorism
2- drug smuggling
99.99% probability, broda was trying to pull som publo on the Britons. —-Busted!-
DNO why do you bother put out these “so called” news item if you do not and or can’t give out all the information? This is so ridiculous! Don’t you think?! It seems to me that your only concern is being the first one to break a story. But what story are you really reporting if you cant give the details!
Well well well this is so sad what kind of example are we showing to our young people and children who will be tomorrow leaders
Either way:What’s in the dark must come to light!!
DNO wait for the news before allu report.
What about Allan, Kamala and the young man from Petite savanne area? Was it a case of rushing to conclusion too? The police might have messed up on this one, but it wil not be too long before all the investments, land, expensive vehicles, easy living and buildings wil come crashing.
I agree with you
One day one day conquer day.
mmmmmm I wonder what went down
god is not a police.gatwick airport customs are well trained and are waiting for people like that guy.people google cocaine at gatwick airport and u all will see how customs officals operate there
Dem man playing with UK airlines dem didn’t do their research I c, it have UK airport programs and dem ppl telling if u swallow that by swiping ur shoes so u should know
well that should not be too difficult.we have only 4 well knowed business men from newtown and two scared to fly.
ha good deduction
Still in the dark, don’t know which one’s are scared to fly, give us a hint.
who shaking
hahahaha
fish does shake too wii
So nobody to comment as yet on that as yet!!!!
Oh please DNO. Most people know who it is. Stupeeeeeessssss
The report is vague but anyway we Dominicans have a Maleh eh pal.
DNO do you realize that 99% of the time you never give the updated information that you promise?
I have been monitoring this type of breaking news from DNO which gives scanty information and then there’s no follow-up.
I see a deterioration in the quality of your reporting. Before breaking the news to be first, it would help if your reporters would get involved in investigative reporting, seek the source, confirm it, and then break the news. I’m a bit fed up of these emotional headlines without substance in the report.
Or are you playing with your readers?
Come on shake up and kicks some butts, the information on the street should not be the same as DNO or any other media house fro that matter. The public depends on you (all) for information, not BEFF, and these reports are looking beffy, they smell beffy so they must be beffy.
Just read how stupid it sounds: “BUSINESSMAN ARRESTED IN LONDON” who, how, why, what for? Even if you don’t give the man’s name, give some more credible information.
Next CALYPSONIAN ARRESTED FOR COCAINE, same thing.
I hope this passes your scrutiny and your reporters will take it in the spirit that it is written.
Admin: Reader, if you really know about news reporting then you would know that there’s such a thing as developing news. A story breaks with a BASIC FACT or FACTS and continues to develop. The lack of confirmed information from the authorities about this arrest notwithstanding, it is a FACT that this businessman was arrested in London. If you’re saying that this is not newsworthy, then that’s another matter.
Bondiere oiye….all you want to come after the Admin but he/she said that they are awaiting for more details from the relevant authorities. Have patience nah. Why you want the person name for? Don’t you have Dominican relatives living in England? Or call Newtown and try to find out who went to England. You more like BEFF than anything. People who are willing to wait for relevant information will wait. People who like BEFF lack patience…..they want all the news whether the news are true or fake.
Admin how you going to develop a news with no name. If you do, then 2 minutes later a name should go with it. I really do not see the sense of having a scanty breaking news for a whole day. Ahwa, I know about news and this is not good, and maybe because it is much too often. You can have a breaking news but sooner than later, give the details of the news. this is like what my little friends them do when they hear a hot gossip. I don’t mean any offense but it is how I feel based on the pattern I see here.
Admin: I understand your point of view, but Annica Alethea where are the follow-ups or developments? You just Break the story and end.
Additionally, if it is FACT, then what is preventing you from revealing the name? FACT is truth, so why hold back details of what’s true?
Come on.
Why are you getting on Admin’s back? They know what they are doing. You remind me of, “Curiosity killed the cat. Satisfaction brought it back.” There will be time to report the name. Patience is a virtue. Since it concerns a Dominican resident in the U.K., you will hear more about it on DNO.
All you want more information on this matter, follow the link below….lol….You idiots don’t know how the press works…

At least they said they were arrested for terrorism, so we know no more questions should be asked, but DNO does not say anything.
See the difference between professional reportin and mediocre.
that admin rude too we. is so they does press my comments and doh approve them…in some cases taking 3 days to approve it. Approve MET YO comments on time Admin. My fans and them complaining..lol
Good publication on allegers identity policy to be consistently applied.
=)
Was it drug related????
na worry bout dat DNO we will get to know even before you published the name of the man remember in D/A the public get to know things even before it comes out on the media
wonder if that could be linked to the blacklist and also the world knows that dominica is extremely corrupt…
some strange things circle in/out of dominica which many seem not to care about..
Dominica is no more corrupt than the rest of the world. Where do you reside, in Dominica? There is corruption in every country and more so in the bigger and so-called progressive ones.
That businessman didn’t have proper proof of address or what?
The talk in the village of Grand Bay Grand Bay is that a woman from Grand Bay left DA on Wednesday for Canada and the Canadian Immigration send her back to Dominica yesterday
what for?
who ever he is it is a shame, shame, shame.
Do you know what went down? Do not be too quick to judge! All sin is sin in the eyes of God. Remember you views you have of people tells alot about the type of person you are. Be Blessed!
typo correction – “your”
All sin is sin but they are not one and the same. Make no mistake and do not deceive yourself. Some sins are worse than others and the punishment will not be the same be it earthly or eternally.
DNO does call some people names before they are charged.You people are something else!!!
so why bother put it in the news. His name cannot be mentioned because he was not charged, but the news reporting that he was arrested. Well put the news based on the fact he was arrested. There must be some stupid law on the books that is causing this. How many local business men from Newtown went to the UK this week. Let’s count. 1.
who can that be
The people of Newtown probably already know. There is a family who knows that a member of their family who owns a business in Newtown was arrested on drug charges in the U.K. I am surprised no one has yet stated it or that DNO will not allow this comment for now. Am I correct or not DNO?
One less Cartel of the streets . Already destroyed so many of our young people . Hope he will be Charged and put away for a very long time .
Businessman form Newtown? I hope its not Mr. Sukie.
Admin: No, it’s NOT Mr. Sukie
In the 1940’s I would have asked: “So……who is de porson dat do dat dere nuh?”
lmao
DNO what’s up with all these name holding news? What’s the use of giving news when you can’t give name or why the person was arrest. Nonsense
DNO needs repeat viewers too, besides, Admin. has said time and again that names cannot and won’t be released UNLESS persons are formerly charged.
So is this purely for sensation because if we read it, then we will want to know. Now that we know a business man from Newtown was arrested, now what.
