Port St. Maarten Management commends Sint Maarten’s Department of Customs for their recent confiscation of drugs from a container at the port.
This action by Customs once again testifies to their alertness and demonstrates that Sint Maarten as a port will not allow itself to be used by criminal elements for the entry and/or transshipment of illegal drugs.
“Law enforcement officials, namely the Customs Department demonstrates with this drugs find that narcotics interdiction remains a top enforcement priority for the agency, and that everything will continue to be done to intercept illegal drug shipments and to keep Sint Maarten communities safe by all stakeholders concerned,” Port St. Maarten Safety & Security Manager Roberto Levenstone said on Monday.
