The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service said in a Friday press release that it carried out the first operation jointly with Customs and Border Control officers on 10 April.

A 21-year-old West Bay man was detained during a vehicle stop on Esterley Tibbetts Highway, and a search warrant was subsequently executed at his premises, the release said.

Officers arrested him for possession and possession with intent to supply (ganja and cocaine), and on suspicion of consumption.
