Controlled Drugs Discovered at Deep Water Harbor During Joint Operation

St. John’s, Antigua & Barbuda – Law enforcement authorities have discovered a quantity of controlled drugs during a joint drug interdiction operation at the Deep Water Harbor Cargo Shed.

On Monday, April 7, 2025, at approximately 2:30 pm, a coordinated effort between the Royal Police Force and Customs Enforcement led to the seizure of a barrel containing seventeen (17) vacuum-sealed packages of the controlled drug cannabis.

A female resident of Yorks was subsequently taken into police custody for questioning in connection with the incident. The packages weighed five and a half (5½) pounds, and have a street of $44,000.

The Royal Police Force and Customs Enforcement remain committed to the protection of the nation’s borders and the disruption of illegal drug trafficking operations.
