Man charged in $5m cocaine seizure

NASSAU- Police have charged a 28-year-old man in connection with a $5 million cocaine seizure.

Kenly Guerrier, of Russel Town, Eight Mile Rock, faces four charges related to the November 15 seizure.

Guerrier pleaded not guilty to charges of drug possession with intent to supply and drug importation. He also denied conspiring to commit those offenses.

Magistrate Samuel McKinney remanded Guerrier to prison pending a bail hearing on November 26.

Officers from the DEU, DEA and OPBAT descended on Guerrier’s apartment around 12am Monday.

While searching his unit, they allegedly found a key that unlocked the unit next door.

The officers found nine suitcases filled with the cocaine inside the second apartment.

The drugs weighed 250 kilos.
