Drug boat found on Brac, two arrested, one on the run

(CNS) UPDATED: Police say a second man has been arrested in relation to the drug boat seizure on Cayman Brac this morning. The third man is still on the run. The boat and drugs were found on a beach on the south side of the island this morning, Thursday, 22 August, and the first man was arrested shortly afterwards. Local RCIPS, Customs and Border Control (CBC) and Department of Environment (DoE) officers are currently searching for the remaining fugitive.

Additional support has been provided from Grand Cayman, including from the RCIPS Air Operations Unit and the Cayman Islands Coast Guard.

The police said this morning that one of the fugitives is of medium height with a dark complexion and short dreadlocks. He is barefoot and wearing a black shirt. They have not said if this description fits the man who is still on the run.

Police are reminding the Brac community to remain vigilant, and boat owners in the Sister Islands are urged to ensure they secure their vessels. 

Anyone who sees a suspicious person on the Brac is asked to call 911 or the Brac Station directly on 948-0331.
