FREEPORT: Grand Bahama Police seized almost $600,000 worth of illegal drugs and arrested two men, one of whom was shot during a high-speed chase and shootout with officers.<\/p>\n
Assistant Superintendent Hector Delva said police are searching for a third man who escaped after the vehicle being pursued by officers crashed into a tree.<\/p>\n
According to reports, DEU officers were on patrol around 11.25pm on Saturday when they observed a white 2000 Chevy Astro van exiting Magellan Road.<\/p>\n
The occupants were acting in a suspicious manner so officers pursued the vehicle and a chase ensued.<\/p>\n
ASP Delva said there was an exchange of gunfire between the suspects and police.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Astro van eventually lost control of the vehicle and collided into a tree on Tarleton Road, where two suspects were apprehended. A third fled into bushes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
