Law Enforcement and Security Officials seized an estimated $256,000 worth of Cannabis at V.C Bird International Airport on Tuesday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Police Officers attached to Narcotics and K-9 Unit, along with Customs and Airport Security Officers conducted two separate operations at Customs Bonded Warehouse with the aid of the sniffer dogs, and found a combined total of 64 pounds of Cannabis.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In one incident, the dogs alerted the officers to a barrel with laundry detergent, which arrived aboard Air Canada Airlines from Canada.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The shipment was searched, and four buckets with twenty-one vacuum sealed packages of cannabis were found hidden inside each bucket. The substance weighed 14 \u00be pounds and carries an estimated wholesale value of $59,000.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the other incident, two\u00a0barrels, coming out of the United States aboard Amerijet Cargo Airlines were found an overall total of 49 \u00bd pounds of compressed cannabis. The illegal drugs were found hidden among four buckets of food items. The substance carries a wholesale value of $197,000. All the items were seized and taken to Police Headquarters, pending further investigations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Less than 48 hours ago, a similar operation was conducted by Narcotics and K-9 officers at the said airport, and a total of 7 \u00be pounds of cannabis with an estimated wholesale value of $31,000 were seized. Earlier in the month of April, over 1.6 million dollars\u2019 worth of drugs were destroyed at Burma Quarry. This came as a result of cases that were disposed of in both the High and Magistrate\u2019s Courts; as well as seizures, where no arrests were made.<\/p>
