Jamaica’s Major Drug Bust Shakes Caribbean Security | Jamaica News
Description
Jamaica just pulled off its biggest drug bust ever—over 2,000 kg of cocaine and 200+ lbs of marijuana seized at the Kingston Freeport Terminal between August 5-7, with U.S. help. This major crackdown comes as Washington pushes for tighter Caribbean cooperation against cartels, with Defense Department’s Pete Hegseth praising Jamaica’s new military partnership to tackle narco-terrorism. Customs credits smarter tech, sniffer dogs, and global teamwork for the win—and since January, they’ve nabbed over 700 shipments, including weapons. It’s a fierce, ongoing battle—but recent seizures signal real momentum in shutting down criminal transit routes.
