A FREEPORT woman was arrested after police discovered nearly $18,000 worth of suspected methamphetamine at a residence in Grand Bahama.
Assistant Superintendent Stephen Rolle reported that Drug Enforcement Unit officers executed a search warrant shortly after 10am on Tuesday at a residence on Cadwallader Jones Drive.
On arrival at the residence, officers knocked on the front door and a woman opened it. She was shown the search warrant.
During a search of the residence, police said officers searching the kitchen area found a Quaker Oats box.
On closer inspection, ASP Rolle said a crystal-like substance suspected to be methamphetamine was found inside.
As a result, the woman was arrested and taken into police custody.
ASP Rolle said the suspected drugs weighed 1.8 ounces with an estimated street value of $17,600.
Methamphetamine is a potent central nervous system (CSN) stimulant that is mainly used as a recreational drug.
A police investigation is ongoing.
