Customs Officers and Cannabis Investigation Continues
Fri, May 9, 2025
In other police. news, last week, we reported that the police department was investigating two customs officers in connection with a large shipment of marijuana - which was delivered via one of the freight services. The former ComPol had given directives to investigate the matter to the fullest extent. Today Dr Rosado gave us an update.

Dr. Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"Are doing a joint investigation with the police and the anti-money laundering unit. Yesterday, the investigators had applied for the court for a warrant to search the devices of those individuals who are involved."

"So the investigation is ongoing. Once the investigation is completed, the file will be forwarded to the DPP for her advice."

"Will additional personnel from the customs department also be looked at?"

Dr. Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"We will go where the investigation leads us to. And if there's other additional persons who we have evidential material to detain and pursue them, we will do that."

Reporter
"How large is this apparent smuggling and how deep does it go, are you able to say?"

Dr. Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"The investigation is still ongoing at this moment, so it's difficult for me to say."

Jules Vasquez
"There were people other than customs officers, the argument would be made. They would have already been drugged into face charges. These are people who showed an active interest in this box, inquiring where the box is. Boy, bring out the box special for me, that looks like criminal collusion."

Dr. Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
"We are doing an intense investigation and hence the reason we don't want to jump and quickly charge anyone unless we have the evidential material to detain and charge them."

"Those in customs officers that we have some evidential material on them, we have brought them in, they have been interviewed and we are continuing the investigation."
