Jamaicans and Caymanians held in joint maritime operation

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (CMC) – Two Jamaican and two Caymanian men suspected of being involved in a drug smuggling operation were charged when they appeared in court earlier this week.

The charges followed a recent interdiction at sea during joint maritime operations with the Cayman Islands Coast Guard and the Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard in international waters.

During the operation an estimated 560 pounds of marijuana were seized.

The police report that large packets of drugs are now being analysed, and more details of the haul will be presented in court.

Those held in connection with the seizure were remanded in custody and are due to return to court on October 8.
