Commendations For Drug Squad Officers

Four officers have today received commendations from the Commissioner of Police  Richard Ullger for a case that saw a man jailed for importing over £5 million of  cannabis into Gibraltar. 

A statement from the RGP follows below:

Detective Sgt Gerald Martinez, Police Sgt Lionel Gomez, Detective Constable Byron  Shute and Detective Constable Daniel Caruana received the awards after their  actions and investigation skills helped bring about a successful prosecution. 

As a result of their efforts, a Moroccan national was sentenced to seven years in  prison by the Supreme Court last month.
