A vessel named C-Elizabeth II docked in St Kitts on 10 August 2026 at around 9 a.m., according to a press release from the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force. A joint search by police, the Coast Guard and Customs, including its K9 Unit, found about 12.5 lb of cannabis and 1 kg of cocaine.
The captain and six crew were taken into custody to assist with investigations. The release identifies them only by nationality: Grenada, St Vincent and Trinidad and Tobago. It lists no charges and names no one.
Why it matters: The cannabis was a small part of a mixed find. The people held are described as assisting investigations, and no charges are listed.
