Get read of this poison men by give them the same poison to inhale..
Good job Royal Grenada Police Force. 14kg sounds a lot, but God knows how much Cocaine is still getting through.
Cocaine unleashed vicious Crime waves in TnT. Hopefully a less corrupt RGPF can get the big fish that control these dangerous drugs and not just these small frys.
This is the kind of Cocaine Crime thats worthy of the limited Police resources rather than wasted on chasing criminalised Herbal Marijuana.
Throw away the key
