The guns-for-drugs trade between Jamaica and Haiti is considered big business along the island's south coast. Many of the players are local fishermen. It takes J$150,000 worth of petrol to make the journey. The POLICE ARE overlooking some major clues in their efforts to crack the guns-for-drugs trade between Jamaica and Haiti, an insider tells The Sunday Gleaner.

"It costs approximately J$150,000 to fuel a boat that takes ganja to Haiti, returning with guns and cash from that impoverished island.
Fishermen making the run have to be prepared for a 14-day stay, which spans sea and the Haitian mainland.
Prime Minister Bruce Golding said in Parliament last week that the establishment of Haitian communities in the south of the island has made the illicit trade easier.
He noted that Jamaicans leave with ganja and return with money, guns and sometimes Haitians, who start families here."

"Despite the prevalence of several marine police vessels and three high-speed Jamaica Defence Force boats on the seas, the guns-for-drugs trade between Jamaica and Haiti continues to flourish."
