The TTPS said that it partnered with the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard (TTCG) and officers of the Northern Division, to conduct the intelligence-led operation. “This significant drug seizure underscores the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service’s unwavering commitment to protecting our nation from the threats posed by transnational criminal networks,” said acting Commissioner of Police, Junior Benjamin. “We remain vigilant in our efforts to disrupt the illegal drug trade and will continue to leverage intelligence and work closely with our local, regional, and international law enforcement partners,” he said. The police indicated that the operation was launched on Friday after the police specialist unit received information earlier from a confidential source, which indicated that a known Drug Trafficking Network  had recently imported a substantial consignment of narcotics from South America.
