Police said members of the Suppressing Criminal Activity Threatened Society (SCATS) yesterday, based on information received, went to a bushy area along 2nd Avenue Greens, where a number of marijuana fields were discovered ranging from seedlings to 18ft in height.
The lawmen disclosed that assistance was rendered from the Servility patrol and B’town Divisional patrol resulting in the removal of 3,257 plants. Due to failing light the eradication process was stopped.
SCATS personnel with assistance from Tactical Response Unit (TRU) and Narcotics units returned to the area today and successfully removed 8,026 plants.
The total number of plants estimated weight is 920lbs and estimated street value of $1,832,340.00 BDS.
