Jamaica cocaine seizures in 2026 exceed half of prior decade total

Jamaica's police commissioner reports that cocaine seizures in the first 10 months of 2026 are more than half the total seized between 2016 and 2025, indicating a significant surge in trafficking activity or interdiction effectiveness. The claim is based on official police data, but details on volume and enforcement context are limited. This suggests heightened narcotics flows through the Caribbean, potentially linked to regional instability or increased production.
