THREE BAHAMIANS ARRESTED FOR DRUG POSESSION AT LPIA

Two Bahamian women and a Bahamian man were taken into custody after they were found in possession of a quantity of dangerous drugs at the Lynden Pindling International Airport (LPIA) on Friday 26th May 2017.

According to reports, shortly before 8:00am, two Bahamian women and a Bahamian man were traveling to the United States, when United States Customs and Border Protection officials detained them at the United States Customs and Immigration Pre-Clearance Departure Lounge at LPIA, after 16 taped packages of cocaine was discovered in their luggage. The estimate weight of the cocaine is four
pounds.

The three suspects were handed over to Drug Enforcement Unit officers and are expected to appear in court early next week to be formally charged.

POLICE ARE APPEALING TO THE PUBLIC TO SHARE INFORMATION ON ANY
ILLEGAL/SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR INSIGNIFICANT (THE TIP) MAY SEEM, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ARE URGED TO ANONYMOUSLY CONTACT THE POLICE AT 919 OR CRIME STOPPERS AT 328-TIPS (8477) (NEW PROVIDENCE) OR 1-242-300-8476 (FAMILY ISLANDS)
WEEKLY PREVENTION CRIME TIP – 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
