A ma­chine gun was among mil­lions of dol­lars’ worth of nar­cotics seized by po­lice in To­ba­go, while the con­tra­band was be­ing smug­gled in­to the is­land last night.

Two men were ar­rest­ed on Mon­day night af­ter po­lice re­port­ed­ly found $42 mil­lion worth of drugs and weapons on their boat at Pi­geon Point Beach, To­ba­go.

Po­lice told Guardian Me­dia they seized some 231.7 kilo­grams of mar­i­jua­na, worth over $36 mil­lion, and 13 kilo­grams of co­caine, val­ued at $6 mil­lion. Of­fi­cers al­so found two pis­tols, a ma­chine gun, and 167 rounds of am­mu­ni­tion.

The po­lice op­er­a­tion took place around 7:30 pm on Mon­day (De­cem­ber 2, 2024), and was led by ACP Os­wain Subero and Snr Supt Earl Elie, along with of­fi­cers from the Trinidad and To­ba­go De­fence Force.

The two sus­pects—one from Buc­coo and the oth­er from Mara­bel­la—were ar­rest­ed on the boat.

The un­reg­is­tered boat was im­pound­ed, and both men were tak­en in­to cus­tody.

Po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands that both men are ex­pect­ed to be charged.
