NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Five men are in police custody after officers uncovered more than $30,000 worth of suspected marijuana during a targeted operation on Rose Street Thursday afternoon.
According to police, officers assigned to Operation Black Scorpion were acting on intelligence shortly after 12:30 p.m. when they approached a tan-and-brown business establishment off Marathon Road. Their attention was drawn to a man seen kicking a box beneath a gold Jeep.
