Two Bahamian men were arrested Friday in connection with a major drug bust that has resulted in the seizure of some $2 million worth of suspected cocaine on the island of Bimini.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Terecita Pinder reported that DEU officers intercepted a 26ft aqua and white Contender vessel in waters near Alice Town shortly before 8am.
During a search, officers discovered two white coolers and two backpacks all containing packages of suspected cocaine, with an estimated street value of $2.3 million.
The two suspects on board, who are residents of Bimini, were taken into police custody and are expected to be arraigned before Magistrates Court in New Providence early next week.

Nice catch. The new administration is sending clear a signal that dope running won't be tolerated.
