A JOINT law enforcement operation in Bimini on Saturday night led to the seizure of approximately 150 kilograms of suspected cocaine valued at about $3m.
Preliminary reports indicate that shortly after 9pm, officers acting on information conducted marine inquiries at Buccaneer Point Canal in South Bimini. There, they observed several men offloading coolers near a grey vessel.
The men fled the area in a black truck when officers approached. A subsequent search of the vessel and a nearby bushy area resulted in the discovery of the suspected cocaine.
No arrests have been made as investigations continue. The Royal Bahamas Police Force acknowledged the assistance of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and United States law enforcement counterparts, including the DEA and Customs and Border Protection Airwing.
