The residents of Jamaica took to their social media accounts and expressed their views and opinions on the seizure of drugs. 

One person with a Facebook handle commented “Arrest and charge the person who was found in possession of the drugs instead of declaring that no Arrest was made for the seizure. Who was going to risk their lives to come forward to give information about drugs, The police must be crazy, this would be an invitation to get killed. Officers go out and do your diligence investigation and leave civilians out of police work.”

Another person commented the following “Why the authorities have not arrested any person, why they are not taking any strict action. The authorities need to take some actions to stop such criminal activities.”
