The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) has arrested and charged three individuals following the discovery of cannabis at the Charlestown Pier and in Craddock Road, Nevis, on September 5th, 2025.

 

While conducting an observation exercise at the Charlestown Pier, officers detected a strong odour of cannabis emanating from Kimo Sancho of Craddock Road who had just  disembarked the motor vessel Lady-B. The officers stopped Mr. Sancho and informed that a search would be conducted on suspicion of possession of controlled drugs, arms, and ammunition. The subsequent search revealed a quantity of vegetable material, suspected to be cannabis, inside his bag. Mr. Sancho was arrested and taken into custody at the Charlestown Police Station.

 

Later the same day, a search was executed on Mr. Sancho’s premises at Craddock Road. Present during the search were Kurt Garnette Sr. and Kurt Garnette Jr. Officers discovered sixty-five (65) cannabis plants at various stages of maturity growing in flower pots in the yard. The Crime Scene Unit processed the location, uprooted the plants, and took them into custody along with the three individuals.
