Local anti-drug authorities and their overseas counterparts have been exchanging information as the probe continues into the discovery of 11.5 tonnes of cocaine in a container of scrap metal in Belgium more than a month ago.

Head of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU) James Singh yesterday told Stabroek News that the investigation remains active.

He said CANU has been working along with its counterpart in Belgium and other entities as they continue to pursue a number of leads surrounding the bust.
