PORT PURCELL, Tortola, VI- More than 24 hours after illegal narcotics were reportedly seized on a vessel in the Virgin Islands, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) has yet to disclose the quantity of the illegal drugs or any further information.
According to reports, the vessel on which the drugs were seized is named 'C Elizabeth II', although police did not disclose the name in their press release on December 9, 2025.
The RVIPF also did not state the type of illegal narcotics discovered, although our sources have said it is cocaine.
There is also no word of arrests following the joint operation police said was conducted on Monday night, December 8, 2025.
"I would kindly ask for your patience as our teams are relentlessly working," Interim Acting Commissioner of Police Richard Ullger told our News Centre around 12:00 PM today.
Mr Ullger also said a press release would be issued "once we are in a position to do so."
