Arrest - The Bermuda Police Service in conjunction with H.M. Customs can confirm that a 28 year old Latvian man is in Police custody after a significant amount of illegal drugs, a firearm and ammunition was seized from his sailboat. The 28 year old man diverted to Bermuda after experiencing mechanical problems with his boat while traveling to Europe. Investigations conducted thus far suggest that this shipment of illegal drugs was not destined for Bermuda, however this seizure is another good example of cooperation between overseas law enforcement agencies as well as local agencies.
A court appearance for the 28 year old man is expected in due course.
