Police and Immigration officials in the Turks and Caicos Islands are still at a loss for words as to how two Bahamian men managed to leave the Providenciales Int airport and arrive at the Lynden Pindling Int Airport in the Bahamas with 16 taped packages of cocaine.
The men, aged 38 and 45, had flown in to New Providence from the Turks and Caicos on a private aircraft and DRUG Enforcement Unit (DEU) officers arrested them on Monday morning.
Officers at the airport made the discovery shortly before 10am after they searched a suitcase carried by one of the men. And were later taken into custody. A Senior member of the Royal Bahamas Police Force told RTC that the men will appear in court hopefully by this week and they will be contacting the Turks and Caicos Islands police to ascertain the origin of the illegal substance.
