In a major counter-narcotics operation, the Jamaica Defence Force Coast Guard seized over 990 pounds of cocaine off the island's southern coast. The illicit drugs have an estimated street value of 3.7 billion Jamaican dollars.
During a routine patrol, a JDF unit detected and pursued a suspicious vessel. Individuals on the boat were seen discarding multiple packages into the sea, which were later recovered and confirmed to be cocaine.
The JDF stated that this interception dealt a significant blow to regional drug-trafficking networks. The seized contraband was transferred to the Narcotics Police for further investigation.
