And while the detainees are being held at the prison - the drugs remain under lockdown. They have not yet been destroyed - even though Deputy Compol Williams had said he wanted to get rid of it by the end of this week.
And because the 1,225 pounds of suspected cocaine is at the Queen Street Station - police are on highest alert. And a pair of Mexicans on Queen Street may have been innocently detained because of this. Around 4:00 yesterday, they were parked in this white pickup - and because of the plates and the fact that police didn't know their business, they were taken out of the truck and detained at the Queen Street police station. We understand that the Mexican Embassy tried to intercede on their behalf but police held them overnight - and had planned to release them this evening. A senior cop told us that the movements appeared suspicious and right now police can't take any chances with the shipment of cocaIne currently sitting in the station.
