The truck driver has been identified by the police as 57-year-old Melton Blackwood, otherwise called ‘Blacks’, of Waltham Park Road in Kingston, while the teenager is a 16-year-old girl.

Reports from the police are that about 2:45pm, during a joint operation by members of the Narcotics Division and the St Andrew North Division, a white Isuzu motor truck was intercepted along St Christopher’s main road in the parish.

The truck was searched and approximately 1,500 pounds of compressed ganja reportedly found. The drug has a street value of close to US$2 million, the police said.
