According to reports, local police Drug Squad and the Maritime Unit, along with Barbados Coast Guard personnel were involved in a high speed chase with a boat approaching the island and allegedly carrying the men and 24 bales of ganja.
The St Vincent Coast Guard held the boat and men when they allegedly attempted to return to the neighbouring island. (TS)
