MORE than $47 million worth in Colombian “Creepy” marijuana have been seized by police.

The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) in a media release on Thursday applauded the “outstanding performance” of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) following the seizure.

The TTPS reported that between 1 pm and 4.30 pm on Wednesday, officers of the SIU operating under the leadership of Snr Supt Edwards, Supt Etienne, ASP Lynch and ASP Morales and supported by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) executed a targeted exercise based on actionable intelligence.

During the operation, a residence in the Central Division was searched under the Emergency Powers Regulation, 2025.

Officers uncovered 10 crocus bags and five garbage bags containing high-grade cannabis, later weighing 413.68 kg valued at  $47,687,266.44.

The on-site search was supervised by Inspectors Nixon and Ammon.

Two men were taken into custody in connection with the discovery.

Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro commended the officers.

To the officers he said, “Today’s operations demonstrated the power of true teamwork across our units. Your skill, discipline, and initiative were evident in every task, and your seamless coordination and resourcefulness enabled the precise and professional execution of complex missions.

“This collective effort highlights the value of unity within the service. Your performance exemplifies what dedication and collaboration can achieve, and each of you deserves full commendation.

You have all made me exceptionally proud.”

The significant drug seizure comes mere hours after a similar operation on Wednesday with the seizure of $4.4 million in cannabis.
