Mapp, a 26-year-old steel bender of Calder Village, and Neverson, a fisherman of Chateaubelair, were arrested on Wednesday, May 4, following a drug bust off St. Lucy around 5:20 p.m.

Police public relations officer Inspector David Welch said last week that 12 bags of cannabis weighing 376 pounds were retrieved after being thrown overboard as the men tried to escape police.

They were pursued and caught during the Drug Squad-led operation which involved the Barbados Coast Guard and the Regional Security System.

The men are now on remand at Her Majesty’s Prisons, Dodds.
