EAST END, Tortola, VI- In what has been considered a major drug bust, police have allegedly discovered a large quantity of cocaine in a trailer in East End on Friday, November 6, 2020.

According to unconfirmed reports reaching our newsroom, a police officer is among those under investigation.

The matter is said to be engaging the attention of high officials in the Territory.

Police sources have confirmed the drug bust but were tight-lipped on details.

The trailer was reportedly in a yard where an apartment building is being constructed.

No current arrests- CoP Matthews

Police Commissioner Mr Michael B. Matthews informed our newsroom there are no current arrests in relation to the recent seizure.

"There will be a formal statement in due course on the matter but no other details at this stage," CoP Matthews stated.

More details to follow.

      I come on VINO to make a comment about the possibility of cops being involved in some of these murders only to now see this article about drugs and your comment.

      Why are there so many unsolved crimes from years ago...has the evidence been disregarded, burnt, tampered with etc?

        I agree. It so have cops that are deep into this drug movement and knows about plenty of the killings. It’s just to get the evidence. But they always say wat happens in the dark must come to light

          already have UK cops here for years not doing a damn thing but enjoying the fun in the sun. they are humans just like everyone else and can be corrupted. Do you think the FBI,CIA,NSA,Mi6 etc are all squeaky clean?
          Then we have the people in the judicial system this helps criminals even on a greater level....I'll say no more but we all know what's going on and this is a bold fact. A CORRUPTED COUNTRY from down to up and east to west.
          All parties involved, Customs, Police and crooked P.........s.

    The police commissioner went on Claude Skelton Cline show and say his police officers are a Saint. His officers will continue to get away with murder and rape plain out.

    Ok so let's agree. There is corruption 8n the Police Force and a Police Officer let's say from the Island may be involved. The drugs were reportedly found in a container. Did the container come through a Port? Was it cleared by Customs? How did get off that Port? The Police is certainly not uncharted of these area and Officers from Custom are not Island people. Ask another question Is the UK ship still guarding our waters? We know for years who control the drug trade here le5s stop pretending that BV Islanders don't commit crimes here. To know the truth is to catch the people at the top and not the small fries. Only then would the truth be told. Mark my words One day all of you who come on here pulling down other people when things happen in this country is out for a big surprise. ONE DAY MARK MY WORDS!!

    Before we go call down the Police, who it this raid the place and seize the drugs? The same Police. Not just one of them. A whole bunch of them. They gonna bring down their own when he doing wrong. Over 240 officers in Force. I expect 1, 2, even 5 could be bad apples. I know a heap a good ones!! I with you RVIPF!! Just weed them out and keep going.

      90% of Customs bad..... this is no joke. I hear talks from many many people who to go to etc up at the ports. The airport down now but there was another hot spot. Things come in money go out on direct flights to DR, Airport personell gets a pay day also. There are many involved and many persons been getting rich off dirty money for years. It is encouraged as a matter of facts or it wouldn't have the annual Poker run.

      You can import a closed container with "goods" and have it delivered to a location. Customs will then open and inspect it at that location while it is being offloaded. The container is sealed and opened only by customs. This has happened for years.

      Just explaining the process from my experience. However for all containers opened in this way, it should be mandatory to have the K-9 unit on the scene.

      Right if you know any form of comprehension the Prophet was asking questions about the origin of the container. It would appear though that you know more about it than he.
