Boat captain arrested for drugs found aboard vessel
The captain of a vessel recently docked at the Road Town Ferry Terminal has been arrested after authorities reportedly discovered drugs aboard the vessel earlier this week.
BVI News understands that nearly 500 grams of cannabis were seized during the operation.
According to highly placed sources, the captain was aboard the vessel alongside a person previously accused of illegally possessing a firearm. The discovery was made during a routine inspection of vessels at the ferry port conducted by Customs officers.
Sources told BVI News that the drugs were stashed inside an unspecified container aboard the vessel.
It remains unclear whether the boat captain has been formally charged in connection with the discovery.

plz work with the police and we will be stronger in fighting crime and protecting boarders
You need to keep off this newsite plz.. If you are not Semi-retarded you are very close. 500 g is 1 pound so where is the major drug
bust?
It is much by law when 40gram is charged for distribution. That like size of a plastic shoping bag or smaller compressed
Nobody said it was a major drug bust. Chill.
Please state the number of police officers versus customs officers arrested over the last ten years for corruption, drugs, breach of trust and serial offenses? From comming on sowande internet talking nonsense.
