Finally ah Syrian get ketch. Finally….
For years dem syrians been smuggling drugs in and out of Antigua. As old people would say donkey years. How cool and how smooth do I sound?
Doumithhhhhhhhh is not now I have been waiting for this to catch up with them!!!!! Years now I have been hearing about this.
Plenty more shake up waiting to happen especially at the Port. Worse part is the workers down there knows it’s happening and nobody saying anything.
Give us more details!! Where the container coming from?
Time to get them dogs down there and you will see how much more you will find. Container pull off the Port before proper inspection. Plenty bubol going on down there. Who don’t done build big massive house, driving expensive cars, and their salaries don’t match. How many more Customs officers going die??!!!
Waiting for more shit to hit the fan!! Just lemme stand back see!!
Well Lord! As The World Turns!
The black trying to send it out with the white? Or the white sending it in to the black? Hmm. In crimes black is white and white is black. Tag team in jail as well. Yes I’m racist
They haven’t given up on drugs as yet. Drugs and Guns are two major battle we face in this country and I don’t think it will stop any time soon. Time enough the government bring new ways to curb these crimes
Time enough are you catch somebody jack, nice work
The biggest problem is corrupt customs officers. Solve that and it will stop. Customs officers salaries could never support the big houses, fancy cars and life styles. But those in authority turn a blind eye.
Find the guns next. In their ebony and ivory muddaskunt
Smugglers getting bold, but big up customs and police for catching dem.
Deep Water Harbour again? Too much happening there lately.
Dem t’ink dem could slip through customs just so? Good job, authorities.
How much more drugs moving in undetected? That’s the scary part.
Dem man playing risky games with serious consequences.
Every time you hear a drug seizure, is like déjà vu at that port.
Hmmmmmmmm….something smells of bullcrap
wow de amount a weed that come tru this likkle one by eight island, it isn’t funny
About time and glad you published face. These look like Generals in the business and I want to believe most of the Drive by and targeted Hits are being ordered by these two.
Just talk to Cutie with a brown paper bag and everything will be sorted out. Ask your Syrian colleagues. The smooth ones.
No. He nor his parents own ACT.
Who you think bring in all the drugs n guns in Antigua (Syrians) and it’s fact
He is from Syrian parentage but he born right ya
This sounds like 5hey are victims of a turf war. Looks like they are gaining grounds on some big wig turf………….
Police and customs doing the bidding of a big wig.
Cannot be fooled
Now connect this to the Canada bust. No coincidence. Two drug pushers fighting and one is using the police.
Naieve comments about well done Police and Customs. The few that get caught are the stupid ones who are trying a thing or those who will not pay the toll. These are the sacrificial lambs to make us think that the secutity systems are performing while the really big shipments pass through.
Ok so the police stop tip toe around white people, from since back in the 1970’s a Syrian man name saphan use to buy poor farmers watermelons, and he use to tap them and listen for echoes, meaning space to cut it and put in his stuff that he had to ship out,
The guns are sold by the syrians, they smuggle down to Trinidad and south America as a bird minister did and it’s both bird brothers with one yapping on one to get the prime minister position,
This global port interest that gladly convince our intelligent young prime minister that he can’t run a port of entry has to be for a reason, the blockage of heritage cay at nights from prying eyes. Before times small boat had to run out sandy island side to load stuff on the tourist boat as it depart Antigua, but now these brains or mafia share holders of global port ostensibly have security lock down to themselves to do what they want. these tourist boats are lease ships with a company name, when they had enough of it making their monies they let go these old boats. If you go port lucaya in Bahamas you see these big tourist boat on dry dock painting up for the next lease. The public out cry cause them to take actions.
@Melchesidec
The white man body that was found floating at the beach the other day, is also connected to the Canadian drug bust.
Deal gone bad.
And the police are trying to say that these two men went to collect the drugs at the wharf? Yes right..
I don’t think these two are that stupid.
The DRUG AVENUES into the Nation are the same AVENUES used to bring guns (by the way guns are not illegal. A gun is a tool & tools are not illegal. They are used to serve a purpose); again, the GUNS are coming into the Nation through the same AVENUES, as the DRUGS and other contrabands.

@ Biggs,
Not just the Customs officers! Port workers too!
Time to clamp down, but you lie with dogs and you will get up with flees.
Their time will come man!
My stash gone!!
@Little Johnny Just because he hab parents directly from Syria and he born ya na mean he hold Antiguan values and culture. He brought up inna Syrian house with Syrian values taught to mek money off dem black fools and he superior to dem. If it mean bringing in guns and ammunition feh mek money and dem dark skin fools wa kill each other mek dem as long as dem Syrians ah mek money off it, it don’t matter to dem. Fools always thinking oh Chinese or wazungus breed dem youths in Antigua, dark skin people wa claim dem and dem na even claim you as fellow Antiguans. Dem people teach dem youths dem more Syrian, Chinese, Wazungu than Antiguan and dem superior to regular Antiguans.
Maybe the place too small for all of them now so someone have to go, but not so fast, they still have to convict them…and we know how case does get throw out for technicality
