Security authorities in Trinidad & Tobago intercepted a vessel off the Point Fortin coastline on Fiday and seized more than TT$29 million worth of marijuana.
The operation reportedly followed intelligence received on Thursday indicating a large consignment of Colombian marijuana was being transported from Venezuela to Trinidad aboard a fishing vessel.
During the interception, several large bags were thrown overboard, and three occupants escaped into the sea.
Two individuals, one a Trinidadian were detained, while nine bags containing 268 packets of ganja —totaling 268 kilograms—were recovered.
The detained suspects, vessel, and narcotics were taken into custody.
