Both suspects were in possession of multiple phones, communication equipment and an unspecified amount of Surinamese dollars and foreign currency. The police also found an illegal hunting rifle, bullets and other goods. The boat and the outboard engine were seized. Both suspects are currently in jail awaiting trial. The Narcotics Brigade is reportedly in charge of the investigation.
