Royal Cayman Islands Police Service officers seized an estimated 100 pounds of ganja following a search of an abandoned building in George Town.
According to a police statement issued this week, the seizure was made on Saturday, 23 Sept. when officers observed two men behaving suspiciously outside the building on Rock Hole Road.
While speaking with the men, police said, the officers detected the strong scent of ganja coming from the building.
They conducted a search of the building under the Misuse of Drugs Act and recovered several bags containing an estimated 100 lbs of suspected ganja.
The men were taken into custody on suspicion of drug offences, and officers subsequently determined that they had recently arrived on island illegally.
The two men, ages 35 and 57, both Jamaican nationals, have since been formally charged with importation of ganja, possession of ganja, possession of ganja with intent to supply, and illegal landing.
They appeared in court on Tuesday.
