A joint drug interdiction operation between the Police and Customs has resulted in the seizure of a significant quantity of cannabis at Deep Water Harbour on Wednesday, 16 July 2025.

Both law enforcement agencies carried out a search at the main seaport and discovered a barrel with nineteen (19) vacuum-sealed packages containing the controlled drug cannabis.


The packages weighed approximately seven and a half (7½) pounds, with an estimated street value of EC $60,000. The barrel and its contents were seized and taken to the police headquarters. Investigations are ongoing.

The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda remains committed to working collaboratively with local and regional partners to intercept and prevent the illegal importation of controlled substances into the country.

Anyone with information related to drug trafficking or other criminal activities is encouraged to contact the Narcotics Department at 462-5150 or call Crime Stoppers at 800-TIPS (8477). All reports are strictly confidential.

  1. Ok police! So make us the public fools know it didn’t have one name or address on the shipment but was able to be accepted to be shipped by American customs, you think are we foolie, just say what gang or politicians the police working for securing the goods on arrival safely.

  2. Sometimes I really question if the police are really serious about catching the people behind ihe importation of drugs in the country; wouldn’t it be easier to allow someone to try and clear the shipment and then proceed from there. It really boggles the mind

  4. While it’s good to see this seizure, it also highlights that illegal drug trafficking, even of cannabis, is still a very real issue. $60,000 is a substantial amount. This indicates the need for continued vigilance at our ports and stronger enforcement to deter these activities. We need to cut off these supply lines.
