Tonight, Dangriga police are processing what looks to be a lucrative drug trafficking operation in which 3 people have been arrested and charged.
Acting on intelligence from Special Branch, a team of police officers launched an early morning raid today in the Baka Town Area of the community.
They visited the residence of 38 year-old Delvorine Ramos, which is located on St. Vincent Street. Delvorine Ramos was present at the time along with 19 year-old Chelsey Ramos and 46 year-old Felix Alvarez. A thorough search of the premises led to the discovery of a barrel in the house corridor. Inside that barrel, the officers found a crocus sack which contained 9 plastic bags - each a separate marijuana parcel for at least 10 ounces all the way up to just under a pound. The total weight of all the drug parcels was 3.72 kilos, and due to the discovery, all 3 persons were arrested and charged with drug trafficking. It is expect that they will be arraigned at the earliest convenience.
Further searches in the area led the officers to an abandoned lot on Mangrove Street. There the officers found a yellow scale and 4 separate drug parcels to a total weight of 1.64 kilos of marijuana. Nobody was in the area, and so, police deposit the items as found property.
