CBC finds 2lbs of crystal meth in courier parcel
(CNS): About two pounds of methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth, has been recovered by Customs and Border Control from a courier parcel. The package was documented as clothes but was selected by officers for examination and the drugs were found. Presumptive field testing was carried out, which indicated the presence of methamphetamine. The substance was then analysed at the Health Services Authority’s forensic laboratory, where the results were confirmed.
Officials have not said if the decision to search the package was based on a tip-off, suspicions about the package itself or just a random search.
However, CBC Director Charles Clifford said the officers should be commended for their vigilance and continuing perseverance. “This seizure is yet another indication that there is an increased demand for hard drugs in the Cayman Islands,” he warned, adding that methamphetamine is a dangerous and very addictive substance, and consumption of this drug can be fatal.
“The deadly drug fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs such as cocaine, heroin and crystal meth,” Clifford said and repeated his warning about the dangers of these types of narcotics. “Users are often unaware of the cocktail of drugs that they are purchasing and consuming. This has proven fatal in many cases in other jurisdictions, and I fear that it is just a matter of time before we experience this in Cayman,” he added.
No details have been revealed about the package’s intended recipient or which courier service was used. Officials said the circumstances surrounding the importation were being investigated by CBC officers.

Walter & Jessie are back!
Cayman keeps turning a blind eye or ignoring the real threats to Cayman Fentanyl now Shabu in Cayman.Wake UP Cayman they destroying your way of life and your island now with their vices and their drug scourge just because some of your own Caymanians love the conveniences and servitude.its sad when you cannot see that your servant has become your true master?
sadly meth and opioids have been fairly widely available on island for a while now. Combined with coke, they’re quickly replacing ganja as the drugs of choice for recreational users. much like the existence of gangs in the past, the problem will be denied until its too late.
Aaaah Cayman the SHABU trap do your research and find out which other country has a higher use than the United States? Yep can’t blame Jamaica nor Jamaicans for this one! Cayman needs to stop importing foreign crime now into this island. if there was no need it wouldn’t be supply or demand. You are creating the need Cayman employers.
The time our political A$$%#@! Spend wrowing about absolute rubbish they need to be dealing with this foreign criminals drug trafficking problem! Come Mr Premier do something to stop this dangerous drugs and criminal situation from getting even worse. Where and what is our so called Governor doing about this I hope not socialising with some of those high society users mired down in this very dangerous foreign drugs situation.
Fentanyl now Crystal meth the beginning of the end of this island. When are our power hungry political scavengers going to act and stop this imported rabbles onslaught bad enough they are bringing unfriendly and this anti Caymanian ideology. Now importing their dangerous drug habits to create their destructive social dynamic here. When is our government going to say enough is enough and stop preaching this BS about we benefit from them being here or as the former premier said “they are here for our benefit “ my A$$ They degrading Cayman not daily but every minute they remain on our island. Stamp this dangerous drug scourge out now Cayman or be prepared for the terrible consequences we see in their overseas town and cities. Stop importing criminals into Cayman ppm and pact !
Those who traffic in substances like crystal meth and/or fentanyl deserve nothing less than, at the very least, to be charged with attempted chemically induced homicide. It would not be a tragedy if those who do traffic and/or deal substances like crystal meth and/or fentanyl were subjected to capital punishment.
Out in 3.
Now is the time to increase the fine, time and immediate deportation of persons, who are importing/dealing in such substances.
Matter of fact, all drug related offenses committed by work permit holders should be dealt with expeditiously through the Courts.
Well done CBC. thank you for keeping this dangerous drug off the streets.
Heisenburg!
boddenburg?
PanHeads have got to go they’re tarnishing everything they come in contact with, for Pete’s sake dang!
Got absolutely nothing to do with panheads bro all the hidden agenda Sir Shabu followers sad what is happening to our little islands Sad real sad:( we need to stop importing poverty and foreign criminals.
What is Shabu and where does it come from? Also what are panheads?
Once you start shipping that stuff on island things gonna get crazy real fast out there folks
Yep, I hear cops can’t even deal with rising gun crime. Now add meth into the mix. Oh yeah we’re in for a real $hit $how on the streets. And Kenny has just opened up new routes for drug shipments by air from South and Central America. The perfect storm is coming!
@5:56 Shabu is the Philippines term for methamphetamines. Pan-head is a historically derogatory term used by Caymanians to describe Jamaicans.
No one arrested! Yawnnnnnn.
Well done CDC…keep up in the race against crime.
Mustn’t have been sent to anybody.
That could be the worst life destroying drug on the market. The absolute FULL force of the law maximum penalty should be applied to all matters of meth trafficking.
Keep all that, but No Weed? No Vote!
Free up the medical herb.
It’s time to remove this foreign criminal element from Cayman NOW!
