Drugs Seizures

Tuesday, May 13,2025

In recent weeks, the Bermuda Customs Department, in close partnership with the Bermuda Police Service (BPS), successfully interdicted three foreign nationals attempting to smuggle significant quantities of controlled drugs into Bermuda. These interdictions occurred at both the L.F. Wade International Airport and the cruise ship berth in Dockyard. Preliminary analysis, has confirmed the presence of cocaine, diamorphine (commonly known as heroin) and cannabis resin. The processing of the drugs by the government analyst is ongoing, and the BPS anticipates the estimated street value will be several million dollars. The BPS is deeply concerned about the continued efforts by individuals to bring harmful substances into our community. The types and quantities of drugs seized in these recent attempts had the potential to cause significant harm to individuals and pose a serious threat to the safety and wellbeing of our society. Acting Detective Chief Inspector Nidol Barker of the Specialist Investigations Department stated, “These interdictions are the result of ongoing, targeted efforts by law enforcement to detect and deter the trafficking of illicit drugs. The BPS will continue to work hand-in-hand with our colleagues at Customs to safeguard Bermuda’s borders from the importation of illicit substances.” Lucinda Pearman, Collector of Customs stated,  “The Customs Department remains committed to securing Bermuda’s borders and preventing the importation of illegal drugs. These recent interdictions reflect the dedication and vigilance of our officers, who work tirelessly alongside the Bermuda Police Service to detect and disrupt smuggling activities. We will continue to strengthen our enforcement efforts and uphold our duty to protect the public from the dangers posed by illicit substances.” The BPS and Customs remain resolute in their mission to protect Bermuda from the corrosive effects of drug trafficking and will maintain a proactive stance at all ports of entry. The public is reminded that community support is critical in the fight against drugs. We urge anyone with information on drug-related activity to contact the Bermuda Police Service or to make anonymous reports via Crime Stoppers at 800-8477. Together, with the support of the public, we can continue to protect our island and ensure a safer, healthier Bermuda for all.
