Three men, two from Grandbay and one from Newtown who were reported missing at sea, are being investigated by customs.
Police Chief Cyril Carette says the men were found with 10,000 Euros in their possession.
The men were reported missing last week. Reports have now surfaced that they were rescued by a passing tanker at sea and taken to Martinique where they were located by Dominican authorities.
“Ian Liverpool and Aronian Larond of Grandbay and Junior Xavier of Newtown were rescued yesterday (Tuesday) by a passing tanker. The information came to us through the Maritime Rescue Coordinating Center in Martinique. They were brought to the Coast Guard base where their belongings were searched and during that time the money was retrieved. The money is now in the hands of the customs,” he said.
Carrette said the reports on their expedition are conflicting.
“We were told that they went fishing. Another said they went on a ‘mission’. If it was fishing, I could tell fishermen that the trade has become extremely lucrative with top yields of 10,000 Euros within a few days,” he said.
you all just talking euro high in DA as they were fishing each fish gave them an euro so many fishes in the sea so what you all just get a boat and all you will see how euro coming like fire stay there still
They were caught doing anything ilegal.Accept they wer being rescued by passing tanker.Will they get back the money back? Interresting.

Joh 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Mat 17:27 But we don’t want to cause trouble. So go cast a line into the lake and pull out the first fish you hook. Open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Use it to pay your taxes and mine.”

Strange things happen but we dont get fooled agian no no. They lucky is a ship that rescue them if it was the french all now so they would be in trouble.
ok let me add some colours to this story.
these guys gone fishing, but on there way they found a plastic bag that stop their motor. so they put it on the boat and hope to get help,that’s all.
Agree dis one to close to the yampiece incendent dey must look into it plus the money was in euro so someting is not rite i hope dey fish out answers from dem dominica getting out of other
is this the money for the 2 men that went missing? let them talk,who gave it to dem? or they went to buy fish in martinique? give them 45yrs each
find out in which bank they have time go and withdraw that 10,000.00 euro?it looks like they saving their money up there instead. lol lol… JAIL DEM suckers!!!
I would bring them to show me where they fish that 10,0000 euro and drop a fish pot there.:-D
hahahahahaha….am with you on that – i’d do the same thing
i wonder how many fishing line and baits and nets ect they had on the boat. hmmmm inamgine my brother caught 98 dolphins (dowad) and he did not make 10,000 euros and he still don’t go fishing with his money. so can someone some civilized one thell me the what type of fishing trip was that?
i didnt know those days is euros that swimming in the sea and when you send your hook in the sea is euros you just catch.must be something new or i well backward papa.
i wonder what the Fisheries doing. Everytime man go missing is fish they fishing and no boat is found with Fish.
is not alu dam business where dem pple get there money,,mind alu dam business
oh yes it is our business, when our tax money pays the coast guards, mentains the coast guard industry that always has to go look for those lazy ass drug dealers when their navigation skills fail them.
Thank you
FISHERmen IN GUADELOUPE THEY CRYING THEM NOT MAKING ENOUGHT MONEY AND THERE A THREE WITH 10,000 I GUESS THEY WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN HOW DID THEY MAKE ALL THAT MONEY WHILE AT SEA
THE MONEY THEY HAVE THE GOUVERNMENT WILL TAKE IT FROM THEM ANYWAY IF THEY CANNOT SAY HOW THEY HAVE ALL THAT ON THEM
mind allyou business
I knew it was something like that that happened. Why you think the families never wanted to file the missing persons report? They go on a mission eh? Look like the boat motor give up and they couldn’t row enough! Guess they didn’t service the engine properly? 10000 euro. Jail them, then put them back on the same boat where they were found after they complete their sentence. I’m fed up of people like that giving dca bad name
shut ur stupid mouth jackass. they ain’t kill nobody. so what they went on a mission? without missions ain’t no money, this is life, this is the real world. ain’t no bad name they giving D/Ca, they went on a run it didnt work out or whatever the case is. so wha??????????????
You’re such an idiot…it’s folks like you that’s bringing the village down.
what kind of screening does DNO do to allow your comment thru….I guess it is okay to call poeple jackass on DNO. Anyways we dont know who they kill, you never know….bones may show up in Martinique like they did in Elmshall. It is wrong to traffic drug period. These same guys if you ask them to work in agriculture they wont, cause the cash not fast enough. I always wondered about the boat in Montine…..as Montine has no sea. Guess my question has been answered. Learn never buy goods from China, and if you want a job done well dont hire cheap labour, get the professionals to do a good cheap. You all are paying for your cheapness.
Nothin ese to do in dominica so y not get involved in drugs. Wen the government create more jobs there will be no needs for the drug business..
The men should be held responsible for the fuel and the time the coast guard spent looking for then.
GIVE DEM MAN THIER MONEY before they go somewhere and rob it with guns and bullet proof vest please
plun
well that money going treasury to pay those hard working civil servants that are underpaid nurses,teachers,police,garcon last time we only get 3% increase. Those guys detroying people with drugs.
i told ya they were up to no good people there praying for drug dealers safe return smh
I want to know what customs going to do with that money, share it among themselves as usual.
Tal i coming back home tomorrow because i there in another man’s country working from 9am to 5pm in a cold office having sinus pressure just to make a dollar and u telling me i could be in D/A going fishing and can make that kind of money in a day doing fishing D/A here i come i will borrow a boat for the first day and then i’ll bye my own boat…………thanks DNO for informing me u just save my life.
Well Is now some officers going get they cut on that Euro
WE NEED ANSWERS……TO MUCH QUESTION WITHOUT ANSWERS……. SOMEBODY NEED TO SPEAK
Can someone please explain to me what tools I need to be a fisher woman. With all that doe in fishing…I think I wasting my time in my present profession. i want to catch a whale too.
The goverment need to start investing in the fishing industry
They said it was a phishing mission and that was true but interpreted as fishing The phishermen bought all their catch like merchants who give away all their money,to buy a precious pearl.io,ooo euro.for their catch. “GOOD PHISHING NOT GOOD FISHING!!!!”
all u just talking what if they had to sell d baot to gat back home…and fellas if all u know how bad man a roll get rid of d evidence,,,,how u expect d jeandam not to search ur stuff….wise up man
LOL… I’m sorry.. but I had to laugh out loud when I heard Carrette’s closing comments:
“If it was fishing, I could tell fishermen that the trade has become extremely lucrative with top yields of 10,000 Euros within a few days..”
Atleast now we understand why the family didnt want to report them “missing” …
Whether it is by catching fish or catching crabs or carching votes, young men in Dominica are getting very rich.
This is a strange happening. They went missing, were found in Martinique and he had all these Euros in his possession? Where did he get it from and what was he going to do with it? Did he plan to travel overseas with that money?
give the man his money is hard work that there
Evreyday price of fish is growing up ….No more VAT !
Insurance money ,just in case they happened to drift into T&T waters.
right now i on the verge of struggling financially, dominica so hard. better i go fishing. dat 10 000 euro would do me good boyyy
i dreading dat!!!!
dem man go and fish, they must come back fresh, $10,000 euro to bling. my fishy story
Lets have some fun with that one. Maybe a Shark gave them that money to set it free. but make no mistake the truth will soon come on this still developing story. Stay tuned!!!
something is missing in that story,but they will have to talk before the french police let them go
they are already back in Dominica and are investigated. read and understand
read and understand nah people.they are not in the hands of the french police.
Well i will not hunt crabs again like the man in the north. I will fish instead.
Nice one
i know where you coming from with that statement
lol
umm u cannot conclude ntn….wait on de news
who say is only fish you can catch when you go fishing. But the story is indeed fishy.
this could well be a paid mission
Hmmmmm! they had good fish sales on water. It seems like money laundering.
They were fishing for euro out in the channel. It seems like nowadays you can just set your fishing line with a live bala’w, and up comes the euro.
all u not saying is that boat that was use to get rid of those yampis men remamber french were involve , and it was a money sin so d police dem must check dem fellas real good, who knows hmmmmmmmmmmm they when missin last week hmmmmm the yampis men whent missin aswell hmmmmm my dear police officers take all you time and handle dat real good, hmmm
justice good thinking…..
and it also seems like people was buying fish out there in the waters too..lol..they really think we that sort!!
So they won’t pay any VAT….lol
wow. i didnt knw fishing had all that money in it.
a kilo of fish in martinique cost 10euro, maybe they catch some real big ones ans sell them!!! lol
ya, some real big BALES.
I believe that they sold the balawe to the tunas. Thats my simple take on the matter.
they probably sold a big whale to the frenchmen.
I cannot stop laughing at the comment, my boy thanks for the laugh, is not 1 whale nah, 10 + lol
Ian; Ian please put your act together my boy fast money means a faster death. You have children, think of them. Get some hard work 2 do nah. Value your life, I think u have everything you need, look you might not even be able to back to England. Ian, Ian, Ian please do something about this life u have chosen
SOMETHING IS FISHY, I SMELL A RAT.
lol
Tell me about it. tell me where to go fish to catch all that FISH(EURO)….
i want to know too eh cause i ready to quit my job and go and fish
allu doe have no evidence if is drugs or not so let them man hold there dough
You are the person who is saying is drugs, and not someone else.
However anything over EC$10 000 must be declared or sufficient reason for the source of funds or else it falls under the money laundering Act, so dem better have a darn good reason for fishing with that kinda cash!
no body say it was drugs,but where did the 10,000 euro come from answer me please
shut up french papa. you lost your profit you vex. u didn’t work for it anyways. dirty money/blood money
Jack there is a monetary limit one can gave to enter the country
I smell a rat…A white dust? or a bushy tree! The things that spoil our young people, making them living deads and adding to the problems we already have in this country.
hmm ‘fishy’ story.. they went n sell their drugs n have the Dominican public feeling sorry, praying for their safe return.. smh
AND !!!!!! WHY U DOH SHOT UP
Listen to the voice of the suffering people my brother!!! There is enough suffering in Da now……why should more suffering be brought on the people through crime and they remain quiet?? The people must, MUST speak out!!!!!!! AND YOU AND OTHERS MUST LISTEN!!!!!!!!
the truth hurt doesn’t it?
