Man arrested
On Saturday, the 4th of March, a 21-year-old man with initials T.A.Q.T. was arrested on Saba for violation of the Opium Act BES. The suspect was performing a wheelie on a scooter. As a result, he was stopped for control.
The driver had a joint in his mouth when he was stopped. A strong marijuana-like odor could also be observed coming from the driver’s clothing. This was the reason to switch to an inspection within the framework of the Opium Act BES. Two bags containing marijuana-like herbs were found in a waist bag that the suspect was carrying.
The following day, as a result of this arrest, a search was made in a house on Flamboyant Street. Among other things, a quantity of marijuana-like herb, marijuana seeds, cash and preparation materials for sale of drugs were seized.
