THE ROYAL BARBADOS POLICE FORCE is sending a clear message that it is fighting back against the recent increase in drug importation attempts around the island’s wide open coastline. 

This is the message Acting Commissioner of Police Tyrone Griffith is sending to those engaged in the illegal drug trade.

Griffith said police and other law enforcement agencies have increased efforts to nab drug traffickers, who continue to engage in the illegal practice.

“Police have been very dynamic and aggressive in their fight against illegal narcotics, despite new cases have risen by some 40 per cent. That would also take the overall figure of crime up, even though major crime is down,” he told the SUNDAY SUN.
