FIVE people were arrested in Grand Bahama for various offences, including drug possession and possession of a large quantity of cash in separate incidents.
ASP Terecita Pinder reported that on Tuesday, shortly before 8pm, Drug Enforcement Unit officers on mobile patrol stopped a silver-coloured Chrysler Town and Country vehicle with two male occupants who were found in possession of $15,000 US and Bahamian currency.
She said both men were arrested after they could not give a satisfactory reason for having such a large quantity of cash in their possession.
In a second incident, officers went to a residence on John Rutt Lane in Hudson Estates where they executed a search warrant. A quantity of suspected marijuana was discovered and a male resident was taken into police custody.
In two other matters, DEU officers while on Adventurers Way, arrested two men in separate incidents after they were found in possession of a quantity of suspected marijuana.
Investigations continue.

Can we please stop making drug related arrests in Grand Bahama???
The economy there is TERRIBLE. People need drugs to cope daily to avoid suicide.
After the government gets the Port Lucaya hotel open and doing well and after the East End cruise ship terminal is operational and after the airlines that left resume operation and after somebody takes a pressure washer and does a crazy cleaning on all the moldy buildings all over downtown and after people can get their mail at the post office THEN maybe think about blaming the people for turning to drugs.
Until then, the govt is causing drug use then prosecuting the people who do it. That's entrapment. Very unfair. God will judge all.
