Investigators from the Organised Crime and Intelligence Unit (OCIU) are going through Customs and Excise documents as part of their probe into the find of over $6 million in ganja at the Caribbean Bottlers Co Ltd (Coca-Cola) factory last Friday.

Police have determined the container with the drugs was not scanned at the port in Port of Spain, but a certificate of clearance was obtained for the container to be examined on-site at the factory.

It could not be discovered why the container was not scanned, leading police to believe there may be a link between the drugs and port workers.
