A Venezuelan national and a few others were caught by police with some 80,000 Euros in their possession.
The bust was made by the Marine Unit at around 11 p.m. Monday, September 21 off the shores of Vieux Fort.
A source told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that the vessel was leaving these shores, when they were caught.
It is believed that the individuals are linked to a recent drug bust where a vessel named “Choosen” was intercepted by the Marine Unit, with a quantity of cannabis and cocaine.
The drug bust was made on Saturday, September 19 at about 8:50 a.m. off the shores of Vieux Fort.
Four persons were on board the vessel including a Venezuelan national at the time of the drug bust.
The individuals for both incidents are expected to be charged soon.
