A former prison officer is likely to face charges for possession of cocaine after close to one kilogram of cocaine was found in his car on Thursday.
Reports are that the former prison officer was arrested and remains in police custody.
The street value of the illegal substance which was suspected to leave for the United Kingdom is over $6,000 pounds sterling.
Drug enforcement officials recently discovered over six kilogrammes of cocaine hidden in food produce shipped to Britain, which has put Saint Lucia in the spotlight.
Government had expressed disappointment that agriculture was used to ship illegal drugs to the UK and said it has the potential to put the local industry in jeopardy.
