From The Cayman Islands Customs DepartmentFriday, 18 May 2018

The Cayman Islands Customs Department has announced the arrest of a male Customs Officer for allegedly conspiring to import ganja into the Cayman Islands.

The recent arrest is in connection to this week’s arrests of a female Customs Officer and a Cayman Airways employee. The Customs Narcotics Enforcement Team continues its investigation into the conspiracy to import ganja into the country, and other related Customs offences.

The Deputy Collector of Customs Jeff Jackson, who is responsible for the Customs Border Protection Portfolio, said the arrest took place Thut night (17 May 2018). He said officers will continue their probe into allegations of criminal and administrative misconduct.

“As stated so often before, the overwhelming majority of our staff work hard and make sacrifices every day to keep our country safe from threats to our national security, and this latest arrest of another Customs Officer should not in any way negatively reflect on the integrity, commitment and dedication of those hardworking staff,” Mr. Jackson stated.
