According to the police, two vehicles were intercepted in the Bull Bay area and, during a search, the drug was found. Both drivers of the vehicles were arrested. They have been identified as Fitzroy Robinson and Donovan Drummond, alias "Nuffy". They are expected to appear in the Corporate Area Criminal Court next week.
