The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) reported that it uncovered a drug trafficking network based in the Northern Division, which shipped narcotics concealed amongst legitimate cargo through local courier services, to their regional and international associates.

Cops said that on October 11, a team of officers intercepted a package with car parts destined for Antigua.

A scan of the cargo revealed a package containing 363 grams of cocaine.

In a comment following the drug seizure, Commissioner of Police, Erla Christopher said:  “This is not only another win for the TTPS, but it is a win for all of us, as each drug interception is a setback for the criminal elements. As we partner with both local, regional, and international allies, we hope to see further dismantling of these drug trafficking networks, and a reduction in the crime that they generate.”
