BIMINI Police have arrested a man for breach of curfew and possession of dangerous drugs on that island, which is currently under a two-week mandated COVID-19 lockdown.

Superintendent of Police Terecita Pinder reported that officers were on mobile patrol shortly after 9am on Thursday in the area of Kings Highway when they saw a man walking in the streets.

The man ran into nearby bushes on seeing officers. He was pursued and caught a short time later.

While searching the man, officers discovered a quantity of suspected marijuana in his possession. The man is expected to be charged in the court.

Possession of dangerous drugs? Do we really wonder why our youth has such a problem taking us seriously? Justice delayed, is justice denied. For God's sake, can we not move swiftly on things that matter? Is it all just a show of power and money, ego and greed?

What is more dangerous, marijuana or the law against it that has been destroying lives needlessly for decades? Come on Bahamas, grow up!

I want know who making sure the people in lyford cay and albany are abiding by these stay at home and social distancing measures. I wonder if their beaches are closed? When was the last time you heard.....lyford cay resident was arrested for a small amount of marajuana? A bunch of laws meant to oppress and punish Bahamian citizens and label them as criminals. I guess when your black and poor you get no breaks.

I have been around a lot of Lyford Cay and Old Fort residents, and I must say that I find Bahamians far more racist, downright arrogant, and more blatantly entitled than those residents are. And yesssss.......I am a black Bahamian
