Huge cocaine find at wharf

The police said that the man was allegedly seen dragging the body of the female along the roadway from his house at David Lane towards a vehicle. He reportedly made several attempts to put the body inside his vehicle but was unsuccessful.

The police was alerted and upon their arrival, the body of the teacher was found lying on its back with what appeared to be a wound to the forehead, about 3 a.m. yesterday.

Cocaine with an estimated street value of $13.3 million was seized at a container terminal in Kingston on Sunday.

Reports are that about 3:15 a.m., a vessel arrived in the island at container terminal last Saturday, from Colombia with cargo. While the containers were being offloaded by stevedores, eight packages of cocaine were found in the possession of one of the persons who is employed to

load and unload ships. The Jamaica Constabulary Force and the Jamaica Customs Contraband Enforcement Team were contacted and a search of the vessel revealed an additional 10 packages of cocaine concealed under the spare anchor on the bow.

Four persons who were employed to load and unload ships, called stevedores, were taken into custody. However, their identities are being withheld pending further investigations.
