Police observed him yesterday afternoon travelling in and exiting a small vessel close to the Frenchman’s Cay Bridge. The boat was searched and a black bag containing over $136,000 was found. King was the sole occupant of the vessel.

He is to appear before Magistrate’s Court tomorrow morning where he will face the charge of Acquisition, Possession or Use of the Proceeds of Criminal Conduct pursuant to Section 29 (11) (a) of the Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Act 1997 as amended.

Head of the Crime Division Superintendent Alwyn James commends the work of his team in this and other recent apprehensions as RVIPF’s continues to crackdown on drug trafficking and the acquisition of criminal proceeds.

“The work of these officers on the frontline of this battle is never easy. I am fully gratified that they continue do their jobs and do it well,” he said.
