Drug high

THE WAR AGAINST ILLEGAL DRUG TRAFFICKING  in the Eastern Caribbean has hit the high seas.
And so far, the good guys are winning the battle. The latest salvo against drug dealers occurred  just off Needham’s Point in St Michael on Thursday night, when a joint operation between the Royal Barbados Police Force’s Drug Squad, the Barbados Coast Guard, and the Regional Security System (RSS) resulted in the seizure of 14 large, taped packages  of marijuana weighing 825 pounds.
In addition to three Barbadians and one Vincentian being arrested and placed in local custody, a high-speed boat was also seized. One man was also shot in the right ankle, and remains hospitalized.
The men are expected to be charged by police sometime this weekend.
