T&T authorities intercept major cocaine shipment bound for BVI
Not any of the cocaine mentioned in the story
Trinidad & Tobago authorities this week intercepted a US$2.9 million shipment of cocaine bound for Tortola.
Some 43.9 kilograms of the drug was reportedly found in a cargo holding facility in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
According to media reports out of the twin island republic, Trinidadian Customs officers discovered 40 bags of the drug packed among crates of bottled beverages.
It is further reported that the drugs were expected to depart Port of Spain for Tortola sometime today or on Saturday, May 26.
Authorities said no arrests were made in connection to the find. Meanwhile, a currency conversion shows that the drug found has a value of 20 million Trinidadian dollars.

Not a good look for the bvi in these times
hang ’em, the smuggler’s/pirates
How the F–know you no is the bvi it goiNguyen when the boat have so much stop coming up the islands please
I think you are right, maybe it was going elsewhere.
do the words trans shipment mean anyting to you….remember St Before coke in ’78
So each package don’t have a destination location on it ? – how will they know where to drop it off if it’s not label? Swear this world full of a set of dummies.
The only dummies here are those that actually think drug smugglers label their packages. Are you kidding? With geniuses like this no wonder people are marching in the streets and don’t know why hahahahaha hahahaha SMH typical BVI thinking they know and haven’t a clue
Financial service in trouble looks like someone come up with a different solution to generate money gor the bvi 🙂 😉 lol
Agreed…… lol
sad
with finance on the bridge and tourism slow run through with the 3rd its not stay its just passing through
what they should have done is to code the package electronically and track it to see where it ends up .
Might relate, somewhat, to large sums of money confiscated on persons leaving for said country?
