A Jamaican national has been remanded in custody following a drug bust at Antigua's international airport valued at approximately EC$360,000, according to Antigua.news.
The suspect was apprehended after authorities discovered the illicit substances during what appears to be a routine screening process at the airport. The seizure underscores the ongoing efforts by local law enforcement to intercept drug trafficking through Antigua and Barbuda's ports of entry.
As reported by Antigua.news, the accused was brought before the court and subsequently remanded following the arrest. Further details regarding the nature of the drugs seized and the circumstances of the bust have not yet been fully disclosed by authorities.
The case is expected to proceed through the local court system in the coming weeks.
