At about 4:30am on Thursday, 345 pounds of cocaine was seized in a joint operation by law enforcement agencies on North West Cay, an island north of Great Inagua.
Two men, a 44-year-old Dominican national and a 41-year-old Turks and Caicos resident were arrested by the Bahamas Drug Enforcement Unit and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.
This drug seizure, estimated at $2.5 million, comes just over a week after Grand Bahama law enforcement seized $1.2 million in cocaine from the Freeport Container Port. The shipment had arrived from Peru and was headed for Toronto.
