St. John’s Antigua- Police had yet another major drug haul, with the seizure of $120,000 worth in cannabis during an operation in Bendals yesterday morning.
During the random operation executed at about 9 am, lawmen from the Narcotics Squad, K9 Unit and Special Services discovered 2,510 cannabis plants spread across four fields.
The police uprooted the illegal plants and they were taken to Police Headquarters where they were measured and weighed.
The young plants ranged from four to five feet in height and were approximately 60 pounds altogether.
There have been no arrests and police continue their investigations.
At the end of March, police carried out a similar operation in which they seized $1 million worth of marijuana without any arrest. At that time, more than 10,000 mature marijuana plants, eight to 11 feet in height, were uprooted.
Members of the Special Services Unit (SSU), K-9 Unit and Grays Farm Police conducted the joint operation in the Creekside area.

How silly is this…look at that pic hauling away plants grown out from the earth by mother nature…our peoples’ ignorance on following the rules and laws of our former (still) colonialists without ever doing their own research and homework…sad

Maybe it should be legalize. Look the Jamaican,Vinci and others will bring it into Antigua. It will cost us money and resources to prosecute them. In California they are growing it, they say it is for medical reason. They grow it in Antigua, they grow it everywhere. The police have to do their job. The jail is full of people. Antigua will soon become like some of the other island in the Caribbean, where our passport will not get us in anywhere in the future.
We have to rethink this whole situation and find a good long term solution

Well i guess with all the eagerness and excitement to show the public that some marijuana trees were found they couldnt even think of setting up surveilance to catch the culprits…so another crop will be planted in another location by the same perps…well done.Finders keepers in this and other instances.
