As of Sunday, April 10, 2016

POLICE have taken five Haitian men into custody following a major drug bust in Inagua on Saturday evening.

Shortly after 7pm, officers from the Drug Enforcement Unit assisted by their international counterparts from the US Coastguard and Drug Enforcement Administration, acting on intelligence conducted a search of a Haitian freighter in Inagua, where they uncovered over 100 kilos of cocaine.

The five adult males, who were the crew of the vessel, were taken into custody for questioning.

........ Haitians controlled cocaine and arms trading in Bahamas for decades! ..........

The only surprise here is that they were actually caught.

Interaction of international counterparts from the US Coastguard and Drug Enforcement Administration must be credited for uncovering this 100 kilos of Haitian cocaine.

If left alone, Bahamas Drug Enforcement Unit would have acted differently with the intelligence, the Haitians would have made the usual deal, no cocaine would have been seized, it would have just been another casual day of business in the Bahamas!

It is common knowledge Colombians have been using Haiti as a huge storage location, have assistance in high places here transshipping mega loads of cocaine through the Bahamas.

This operation has gone on like clock work with impunity for decades!

Now that international counterparts from the US Coastguard and Drug Enforcement Administration finally managed to "work around the mole" in the Bahamas, maybe now they can interrogate these Haitian parasites and find remaining group in Bahamas connected to the operation.
