A quantity of cannabis was seized by officers of the Inter-Agency Task Force, Fort Chacon Base, in the Port-of-Spain Division this afternoon.
The officers conducted the exercise around 12:40 pm, on March 13 during which they proceeded to Main Street, Beetham Gardens, where they saw a man dressed in black with a black bag in his possession. On seeing the officers, the man ran off.
A search of the area led to the discovery of a plastic bag containing 500 grammes of cannabis.
The same party of officers then proceeded to Sixth Street, where they found another bag with two brown packages, also containing 500 grammes of cannabis.
Investigations are ongoing into the finds.
