Arrest after ganja found on boat

One suspected drug smuggler is behind bars, maybe another two at large.

Police are searching the bush in North Side after a boat packed with ganja was intercepted Tuesday (23 January).

Around 9 p.m. that night, the police helicopter spotted the suspicious vessel two miles north of Grand Cayman.

The helicopter and a Marine Unit boat gave chase, the suspects beached the boat and fled. One man, a 59-year-old from West Bay was taken into custody where he remains.

Although the actually amount of ganja seized is still to be determined, Cayman 27 understand it’s a significant haul.
