During a joint operation between the City Police Constabulary of Castries and the Drug Squad Unit of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF), some 25 grams of suspected cocaine was discovered in Conway on Monday.
Communications Manager for the Castries City Council (CCC), Jason Hullingseed told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) on Wednesday that the discovery was made at the back of the CDC Building, close to Jn Baptiste Street.
Hullingseed said the city police officers acted on a tip they had received from residents in the area, and when they arrived at the scene, the suspected illegal substance was discovered.
“The city police were in fact on the scene and they were tipped off. They discovered the substance and the Drugs Squad Unit was called in and it was handed over,” he explained.
No arrests were made and there are no possible suspected in this matter.
This is the second major joint operation conducted by the police constabulary and the RSLPF in recent times.
City police officers had responded to the recent shooting in Conway, according to Hullingseed.
“We responded first and called the RSLPF. The city police officers secured the crime scene, before the RSLPF showed up and took over the investiagtion,” he stated.
Meanwhile, when questioned on how soon these city police men and women could receive firearms and other gears, Hullingseed told SNO that the CCC has already procured over 20 firearms.
He said the officers, which include former policemen, will be sent for training shortly.
In the meantime, the CCC is also awaiting the delivery of bullet proof vests, batons and handcuffs.
Hullingseed said after the training, the city police officers will be fully equipped.
