A Bahamian male has been arrested after the Royal Bahamas Defence Force Fast patrol found him with an undetermined amount of drugs Wednesday afternoon.

Officials said the incident occurred around noon.

“Defense Force patrol craft P-128 intercepted and conducted a routine search of a 15-ft Boston Whaler off the west coast of New Providence today,” officials said in a press release.

“A further search of the vessel uncovered an undetermined quantity of suspected marijuana.”

Officials said the suspect, his vessel and suspected contraband were escorted to Coral Harbour Base, where the male and suspected marijuana were handed over to the Drug Enforcement Unit.

Investigations continue.
