The Northern Division Task Force (NDTF) is continuing investigations into the seizure of $44,590 worth of Ketamine which was found last week at a courier company.

According to police reports, at 2.30 pm on February 15th, 2024, NDTF police officers responded to information which suggested that a package carrying narcotics was in transit in the Aranguez area.

Upon arrival at a courier shipping company, relative to a suspicious package received from the United States of America, police questioned the employees and a search was conducted.

During the search, police allegedly found a yellow coloured packet containing 15 sachets of ‘ Ginger tea.’ The sachets were further examined and three were found to each contain a plastic bag with a white crystal-like powder substance.

A field test was conducted on the substance and a positive reading for Ketamine was obtained. The three bags were weighed and amounted to 63.7 grammes with an estimated street value of $44,590.

Ketamine is a controlled substance that is a dissociative anaesthetic that has some hallucinogenic effects. PC Hernandez is continuing enquiries.
