Only one account of the search could be found; the Royal Bahamas Police Force daily crime report page for the same search returned an error and could not be opened.
The article says the warrant was executed around 11:00 a.m. Tuesday and was published on Wednesday 25 June 2025, so the search is dated 24 June 2025.
The marijuana was described as suspected, with no laboratory confirmation reported.
Police gave the total as approximately 1.4 pounds (about 0.635 kg) and did not say how the amount was split between the Miami Street vehicle and the Lumber Road bedroom.
