Drugs transported from Tortola to St Kitts in toothpaste tubes
The police in St Kitts and Nevis have arrested an individual who traveled from Tortola to their country with drugs stashed in toothpaste tubes.
The individual’s gender and nationality are unclear at this time.
According to the St Kitts-Nevis Times, the narcotics were seized on December 12 by Customs officers at the R.L.B. International Airport. They reportedly found nine tubes of toothpaste containing vegetable material, suspected to be cannabis.
The Customs officers reportedly contacted police from the Anti-Narcotics Unit who examined the individual’s luggage before taking them into custody.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing and persons with information are asked to contact the Criminal Investigation Department at the Basseterre Police Station.
In the meantime, news of the drugs departing Tortola comes after a recent Memorandum of Understanding that the BVI government signed with the CARICOM to increase security and border protection.
BVI signed on to the Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS), which allows the exchange of Advance Passenger Information (API).
The Premier said the API agreement will help to streamline the arrival of passengers into the territory.

Since the boat thing not working, they start to carry them on planes.
Marijuana, the suspected ‘vegetable matter’ is NOT a narcotic.
Exactly.
Anyone notice the cans of Coke a certain someone had in his luggage ?
That strikes me as a lot of work getting the weed into toothpaste tubes….but maybe I’m lacking in imagination LOL
Marijuana is a narcotic. A narcotic is a drug or other substance that affects mood or behaviour and is consumed for non-medical purposes, especially one sold illegally.
U are incorrect. Please take your own advise and correct yourself.
Why smuggle weed tubes into St. Kitts? The local herb is way more powerful.
what’s in your cup?
It is the people with the big, big money who are well organized and connected that are trading and smuggling in instruments of death and destruction for profit. And not just guns and bullets, but all the heavy drugs, coke, crack, hash amphetamines and more.
The drug profit world is not a lil boy nickel and dime world. The controllers have spread that lie and propaganda for decades, but it is pure lies. The big fishes are the high-class high society people, institutions and businesses. But every now and again they will arrest a small fry trying to make a dollar to give baby mama to keep the propaganda current.
And, if exposed today, the culprits will surprise all. No level of society, institution or business will be left unexposed.
This should open customs eyes here in the BVI this how they smuggling drug into the bvi.
Andrew Fahie comes to mind?
Great point, all millionaires and billionaires did not get their fortune by just sell a so-called legal product or service. And as others have said, marijuana is not a narcotic, it is human, who gave it that label.
