Point Fortin Mu­nic­i­pal Po­lice re­cov­ered sev­er­al mar­i­jua­na-in­fused cig­a­rettes, mar­i­jua­na and cam­ou­flage hats dur­ing a pa­trol near a beach on Sun­day night.

Ag Sgt Jaikaran and PC Ralph were on pa­trol in a marked po­lice ve­hi­cle around 7.15 pm near Clifton Hill Beach, close to the man­grove area, when they saw a group of men stand­ing at a cor­ner.

When the po­lice ve­hi­cle ap­proached to with­in about 50 feet of the group, the men re­port­ed­ly ran off in dif­fer­ent di­rec­tions, throw­ing ob­jects on­to the ground as they fled.

The of­fi­cers searched the area and found four cam­ou­flage hats, two un­usu­al­ly long cig­a­rettes sus­pect­ed to con­tain mar­i­jua­na, a mar­i­jua­na shak­er, a quan­ti­ty of mar­i­jua­na, sev­er­al lighters and an ap­pa­ra­tus used for smok­ing.

Road traf­fic stop-and-search ex­er­cis­es were al­so con­duct­ed with­in the Point Fortin dis­trict, and po­lice re­port­ed that there were no in­ci­dents.
