Fifteen polythene bags and two taped packages containing 768.24 pounds of cannabis were seized about 11.8 nautical miles off the Cement Plant, Checker Hall, St Lucy.

Police arrested 36-year-old Barbadian Delon Covelle Asgill, of 14th Avenue, West Terrace, St James, and Vincentians 25-year-old Kenrick Kevin John and 32-year-old Keron Andre Walters.

The trio faces charges of possession of cannabis within the territorial waters of Barbados, possession of cannabis with intent to supply, trafficking cannabis within the territorial waters of Barbados and importation of cannabis.

The men appeared before Magistrate Wanda Blair in the Holetown Magistrates Court today.
