According to reports around 6am on Thursday, a joint drug operation conducted by officers from the Drug Enforcement Unit along with the Marine Unit and K-9 Unit assisted US drug enforcement agents at a home on Devonshire Drive, Coral Harbour, resulting in the seizure of 173 marijuana plants and several packages of marijuana.
Earlier this week, police seized 283 pounds of marijuana after a vehicle was stopped and searched.
Shortly before 4am Wednesday, drug Enforcement Unit officers, assisted by Mobile Division officers, stopped and searched a Nissan March with two men inside. They were stopped at Tonique Williams-Darling Highway and Baillou Hill Road.
Police said they recovered a large quantity of marijuana with a street value of $283,000.
The suspects were taken into custody and were expected to be formally charged later this week.
