A man and a woman were arrested Monday in West Bay after police searched their vehicle and found what officers suspected to be cocaine, ganja, drug utensils and a small quantity of oxycodone, according to the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service.
The RCIPS said the search, conducted under the Misuse of Drugs Act, happened during a patrol along Mary Mollie Hydes Road. Officers saw a vehicle partially blocking the road and felt the occupants were “behaving suspiciously”, according to the RCIPS.
A George Town man, 51, and a West Bay woman, 30, were subsequently arrested on suspicion of possession of cocaine, consumption of cocaine, possession of ganja, consumption of ganja, possession of a controlled drug, and consumption of a controlled drug. The woman was also arrested in relation to a default warrant.
Police said the arrest followed previous operations at the location in response to community concerns about “illegal and anti-social activity”, but the RCIPS did not specify if the arrested individuals were related to those concerns.
The man and woman remained in custody as of Tuesday evening as police continued their investigations.
