  1. CHUPS. Thus is just another attempt to distract from the current shit storm the police are now facing. Nice try but e nar werk! Solve the burglaries, murders, attempted murders, the elderly being robbed and abused in their own homes, rampant egotistical police having no self control and wreaking havoc on those they’re charged with protecting and serving only then will I be impressed. CHUPS bout some plant the Almighty gave for our healing.

  2. Policeman: oh stupid me, why I never wait for the owners to clear the drugs at customs then track them to their home?
    And besides the fact I am illiterate so I can’t read the name on the shipment, and the shipping company in the USA and Antigua have the exact identity of the sender but I don’t have any telephone to call them.
    I will just do my job and say another drug bust, I probably get some stripes, but wait when I take the drugs into police facility I don’t hear of the drug evidence again, I got to talk to my seniors like inspector etc .

  3. Why if drugs are found at any port the police doesn’t do a shakeout to nab the guilty party, is that the police are that dumb or are they protecting influential people

  4. Why is everyone saying that they is no owner? Goods are release to consignee only or on the instructions of said consignee… people do the maths.
    I bet if the government pass a law that states that in such circumstances the drugs are to be destroy on the spot immediately all drug bust end

  5. This makes no sense to me drug bust really u mean weed to go back on the street just have to make sure is a high grade cause cops always got the highest grade.

  6. That’s the only thing the police is concerned about ‘weed’ I bet it was more than 52 pounds.once is drugs and guns they’re all in but people getting rob every other dat

  7. Notice the news did say ” drug bust”, because you cannot have a “drug bust” without people getting arrested. 😂

    What a ting in Antigua.

    When was the last time anyone heard of an actual drug bust in Antigua?

    This Administration is really a weak fence.
