RGP Commendations
Three officers from the RGP’s Marine Section were today presented with Commendations by the Commissioner of Police following their actions in recovering £11 million of cannabis.
PC Rob McKnight, PC Dylan Garcia and PC Rob Bingham received their awards in recognition of the professionalism they showed during the high speed chase of a RHIB in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters on Thursday 18 August 2021.
The officers’ actions helped to recover 65 bales of cannabis with a street value of around £11 million. The officers also assisted HM Customs Officers in the detention and safe transportation of four suspects, who were later jailed for over three years.
