A Freeport Container Port employee was flown to New Providence and arraigned in connection with a drug seizure of $2m worth of cocaine discovered at the Container Port about two weeks ago in Grand Bahama.

Tavares Moss, 29, of Bartlette Hill, Eight Mile Rock, was charged with conspiracy to possess dangerous drugs with intent to supply and conspiracy to import dangerous drugs.

According to initial reports, Bahamian authorities went to the Container Port on August 18 and searched a 40ft container and discovered three duffle bags of cocaine, with an estimated weight of 120lbs.

Moss was not required to enter a plea to the charges, as they are indictable offences.

Bail was denied and he was remanded to the Department of Correctional Services.
