Police accused of drug dealing

Read storyPolice accused of drug dealing

Sources within the police force say corrupt officers are selling the drugs they confiscate.

On Tuesday, a source within the Royal Bahamas Police Force told The Tribune that agents in the Drug Enforcement Unit ¬¬are some of the country’s biggest suppliers of cocaine and marijuana.

One of the sources said drugs often go missing from the police forensic lab, DEU holding site or evidence room.

In addition, he said, some arresting officers confiscate drugs but don’t report it, pressure offenders for bribes or turn in less drugs than are actually found during arrests.
