The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service said that three men, ages 37, 40 and 45 of George Town, who were arrested on suspicion of possession of ganja, possession with intent to supply (ganja), possession with intent to supply (cocaine), and consumption of a controlled substance, have been granted bail.

According to the RCIPS, on Friday, April 19, officers conducting patrols in George Town observed persons who appeared to be engaging in suspicious activity at a business complex on School Road. Officers attended the location to conduct further enquiries and detected the strong scent of ganja.

As a result, officers detained three men and conducted searches of the men, their vehicles and the surrounding area under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

During the searches, officers recovered suspected ganja from several locations where the three men had been observed previously. The officers also recovered small packages containing suspected cocaine, along with over $10,000 in cash made up of CI and USD on the men and in their vehicles.

Searches of the residences of the men were also conducted, with another quantity of cash being recovered, along with drug paraphernalia and other illegal items. 

The RCIPS indicated that investigations are ongoing while the men are on bail.
