The Gang Suppression Unit says it arrested two members of the George Street Gang in Gales Point Village with small amounts of marijuana.
Between 3:00 am this morning and 1:00 this afternoon, the GSU set up checkpoints on both the Northern And Western highways followed by house searches in Gales Point Village.
At nine this morning, a search warrant was executed at a house in Gales Point Manatee occupied at the time by 32 year old Gerald "Shiny" TILLET who is from George Street and 38 year old Keino QUALLO who is from Gales Point.
They found 12 grams of cannabis on TILLET and 36 grams on Keino QUALLO. Both men were arrested and charged separately for the relatively minor offence of Possession of controlled drugs.
A much more consequential bust was made by the GSU this morning in the city when a search was conducted on an open lot on Nurse Finley Street, where police found 1.9 kilos of of cannabis inside 18 small bags hidden in the bushes.
The small bags were stuffed inside two larger bags. Police say the drugs were found opposite the residence of a known drug trafficker affiliated with a city gang.
