Last week, we told you about a major marijuana bust in Lord’s Bank, worth more than one‑point‑seven million dollars. Today, we went back to police looking for answers, including who owns the property where the drugs were found. While investigators say the case remains active, they’re not ready to share that detail just yet. Assistant Superintendent Stacy Smith tells us why police are holding back, and where the investigation stands tonight.
