    Still waiting for the trial of those officers caught with 2.5 tons of coke. That was five years ago and still nothing? Maybe the largest coke bust in UK history isn't that big of a deal

      He didn't blow them out of the water but the drone saw everything that was placed in that boat over open waters and coast guard acted.

        You got it.there you go. This ain’t no joke. Let this be a lesson to all of you that is running the drugs at night on those speed boats on the open water take heed because they are going to blow you the boat and the drugs out the water didn’t you all see one of the boats they hit two men were hanging on the side of the boat and they took them out. They are going to start taking out the trap and stash houses

      Perhaps because they were not in a speed boat. Now they are going to start watching all vessels traversing between Tortola and other Caribbean Islands

      The ornaments on the first christmas tree were the lynched (hung) bodies of our black ancestors. Thanksgiving was celebration of the mass murder of our indigenous American brothers and sisters. Now is finally our age of knowing, doing and being accordingly.

      I sniff around the streets and I also have a paid street CI. It can be male or Female White or Black. I came across some information that the same vessel that was seized allegedly dip and dabs in human smuggling.

    First time I ever personally recall the BVI intercepting a drugg loaded boat. Each and every time,it has been the USVI intercepting these boats minutes from
    BVI waters and then chasing them into our BVI intended destination and the perpetrators will always disappear once the boat get to BVI, never to be heard about,they simply melt in the BVI landscape..even when the BVI police meet the boat and chase the drug importers... has happened too many times to count.

    one thing law enforcement officials look forward to is grasping drugs also drugs money while other criminal gangs continue to operate

    Good cooperation with all the agencies involved. They need to check all the containers that come in at the port as well.
