The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) says it has seized approximately 5,100 kilogrammes (more than 11,000 pounds) of cocaine so far this year, with an estimated street value of about JM$3 billion, over $19,000 US.
According to the JCF, the seizures were made by the Firearms and Narcotics Investigation Division (FNID) through targeted operations that have significantly disrupted transnational organised crime networks.
The force said the quantity of cocaine seized in the first half of 2026 is the highest recorded in the past decade and exceeds the combined total confiscated over the six-year period from 2016 to 2021.
Statistics released by the JCF show that between 2016 and 2025, authorities seized a total of 11,852 kilogrammes, over 26,000 pounds of cocaine.
The 5,100 kilogrammes, over 11,000 pounds of seized cocaine this year alone account for 43 per cent of that decade-long total.
