Nassau, Bahamas - Consistent with the Commissioner’s Policing Priorities for 2016, Southeastern Division Officers took a man into custody following the seizure of a quantity of dangerous drugs on Wednesday 28th December 2016.

Reports are that shortly before 10:00pm, officers of the Southeastern Division were on routine patrol on East Street South, when they intercepted a Honda Accord motor vehicle with a man aboard. The motor vehicle was searched and 33 small plastic bags of marijuana were found.

The man was subsequently arrested and is expected to appear in court later today to be formally charged.

ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT ANYONE ENGAGING IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR INSIGNIFICANT (THE TIP) MAY SEEM, IS URGED TO ANONYMOUSLY CONTACT THE POLICE AT 919 OR CRIME STOPPERS AT 328-TIPS (8477) (NEW PROVIDENCE) OR 1-242-300-8476 (FAMILY ISLANDS)

CRIME PREVENTION TIP OF THE WEEK - If a crime occurs– report it!

Everyone should consider it his/her responsibility to report crime. Many criminals target favorite areas and have predictable methods of operation. When you report all the facts about a crime, it helps the police assign officers in the places where crimes are occurring or where they are most likely to occur. If you don’t report crime, this allows the criminal to continue to operate without interference.

In many cases, it is the information provided by victims and witnesses that leads to the arrest of a criminal. So tell the police as much as you can; no fact is too trivial. The police need the eyes and ears of all citizens.
