Authorities Arrest Returning Resident in Airport Drug Seizure
A 40-year-old Antiguan man was arrested Friday at V.C. Bird International Airport after officers allegedly found cannabis in his suitcase during a joint drug interdiction operation.
Police say the returning resident, who arrived on United Airlines flight UA2020 around 3:30 p.m., was stopped by members of the Narcotics Department, K9 Unit and Customs Enforcement Unit.
A search of his Nautica suitcase reportedly uncovered two transparent tubes containing about 22 grams of suspected cannabis, valued at roughly EC$291.
He was taken to Police Headquarters along with the seized items as investigations continue. Authorities say similar operations remain ongoing as part of efforts to curb drug trafficking.
