Former chief minister O’Neil (I believe it was) landed in a similar situation back in the day.

Knowing the BVI that plane will mysteriously vanish soon…. with the public not being the wiser….
N sh**p that’s his he and clf he was to b a senior he a drugs man
800 such and such missing I’m sure the vipd is not the only ones looking for them. Might as well just let it go let the ppl that’s out them big money deal with it.
Look brains!
Tortola worse than St.Thomas now with drugs.
Another one?
Sigh. Just goes to show how bvi is nature’s dirty little secret
Not my Beloved Ralph?
It took a long time for reality to sink in / while we Gere looking scapegoats snd pointing fingers at the UK , USA , USVI , EXPATS and the white boyz and RACISM & COLONIALISM to hide their CLANDISTINE ACTIVITIES , the youths are balancing the scales in the drug scene / no matter how many get gunned down or disappearing they want to be # ONE still and they are being protected by family and friends / who is barefaced enough to say PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO MAKE US LOOK BAD ( but that blood money is going to come back to haunt you ALL , with side effects like my good friend K A R M A
Where is the pilot? No CCTV cameras on that island?
It may have appeared the USVI was worse than BVI, however it was always hushed among BVI locals where most of the drug transfers all came through the BVI. Good work RBVIPF. It’s going to take alot more of funding to ensure border surveillance, as well as alot more work with the population to prove crime doesn’t pay.
The comments are laughable!!! The so called global war on ‘drugs’ is the equivalent of going to cane garden bay beach with a mop and bucket to lower the tide. A whole aircraft landing, not dropping off and everyone is still here pretending that this is the work of a few young local boys.
the plane flew to the BVI from Guyana looking for their promised land?
that was funny / but tou still try to cover up / it not where the plane come from , the issue is we have the people from here who is working with them to destroy their own country for a few dollars / so nobody ain’t pretending , it’s happening ( the people don’t care about the country its a business ) and vif the people don’t care about their own country , why should they
That’s a pretty good airport! Forget Beef. Anegada already has the runway length.
We could pay for the whole damn international airport with this catch!
“ Officers seized”. = took some home.
