And while those quarantine facilities have been set up at all the key border crossings - we know all too well that those contrabandists still find a way to get illegal produce in through the back door.
A proof of that came this morning between 6:00 and 7:00, when officers from the Eastern Division Region 3, Quick Response Team and Special branch nabbed a whole bunch of contraband vegetables on 3 different buses.
They stopped the buses at the intersection of the Phillip Goldson Highway and the Boom Road. In total the team confiscated 4 sacks of lettuce, 4 sacks of broccoli, 7 sacks of Mexican avocado pears, 1 sack of cauliflower, 1 of sack of carrots, and 4 sacks of Mexican Mangos. No one claimed any of the items so they were taken to the Ladyville Police Station. The Items were then handed over to Custom and BAHA personnel.
