Three St Michael men are set to appear in the District ‘A’ Magistrate Court this morning in connection with a multi-million dollar drug bust.
They are Christopher Dave Johnson, 36, of Martindale’s Road; Malo Anthony Edwards, 35, of Taylor’s Gap, Martindale’s Road and Colvin Ishmael Brathwaite of Brandons Main Road.
The three men are charged with possession, intent to supply and trafficking cannabis.
They were arrested after police officers from the Drug Squad and personnel from the Barbados Coast Guard intercepted a fishing vessel 27 miles off Needhams Point.
Law enforcers discovered sixteen polyethylene bags which all contained a quantity of vegetable matter suspected to be cannabis, which weighed about 300.0 kilogrammes with an estimated street value of $1, 210, 400.

Once up a time they use to guns they are moving up
ask wunna self this why you ain hearing no cocaine getting hold. and it ain scare. think about that
@GERALD MATTHEWS, you are correct, but then there will be war for land space and war on cultivation.
No one should have to get lock up for god plant..man made guns lock them up for that..nuff said
I would like to know what criteria did the authorities use to arrive at the value?
No one is going jail under Mia watch. They will get a fine that will pave the way for Herbert to get off scotch free
Perhaps they did not know it was on the boat.
Judged and declared guilty without the benefit of due process. Racism at work here again. Welcome to the real face of Barbados.
CARIBBEAN must legalize marijuana for the ECONOMY.
Always the small man getting lock up for weed but the big ups that bringing in the cocaine never getting caught.
