FIVE people are being questioned after police discovered $80,000 worth of cocaine in Nassau Harbour.
Acting on a tip, Drug Enforcement Unit officers conducted a search at Bayshore Marina on East Bay Street, where they found 10 pounds of the narcotic.
Three Bahamian men, ages 56, 45 and 32, along with two Guyanese men, ages 28 and 26, were detained around 5pm on Sunday.
Police are also investigating a shooting that left a man fighting for his life in hospital.
The victim and a woman had just arrived at a home on Lifebuoy Street around 2am yesterday when they were approached by two men in a green Honda.
The men in the car opened fire, hitting the man in the groin and right arm. The woman's arm was grazed by a bullet.
Both were taken to hospital, where the woman was discharged, but the man remains in serious condition.
Police are asking anyone with information regarding this incident to contact them by calling 911, 919, or Crime Stoppers on 328-TIPS.
