Coast Guard and other law enforcement officers on St Maarten hauled in some 450 kilos of cocaine in St Maarten waters.
An article in the St Maarten News Network said, at least four men believed to be from the British Virgin Islands, St Kitts and T&T are in custody. They are being interrogated about the massive drug find.
Reports up to late yesterday said the Coast Guard on the island is very tight-lipped about the case. The only information which has been released is that law enforcement officials are busy working on a case.
A further announcement is expected to be made about the drug find today.
