Upon approaching the vessel officers observed persons on board throwing packages overboard. The packages were retrieved and four men, all Jamaican nationals, age 31, 32, 33 and 45, were taken into custody.

The packages recovered contained a quantity of suspected ganja with a gross weight of 513lbs. The men remain in Police custody.
