  • A small museum located here.
  • Is not this the island where $700 million dollars worth of drugs (and a significant cache of small arms) were found in a private house? In that case, only the housekeeper and other small fry were prosecuted. The Mirror alleges that the house is owned by a White Trinidadian drug cartel (it is actually in the name of a company), and that the raid was the result of a tip-off from the rival Syrian-Trinidadian drug cartel in retaliation for some perceived slight (having to do with a previous drug bust). This is the seamy side of Trinidad. There are a lot of powerful interests with immense sway on the government. (One manifestation of this is the ever-high local property market which simply cannot be sustained by such a small cadre of wealth on the island. Money is very elusive here, and lot of people live lives that are not reflected in their tax returns--or in the reasonable business endeavors that can be seen.)
  • Yeah the house is on the south side of this island
  • Actually the house of is owned by IAN FITZWILLIAMS. At the time of the incident he was the CEO of AS Brydens. Today he is the Chairman of the Board of the Brydens group of Companies. When the raid was done, Ian and his father fled the country in the still of the night. The boat captain could not speak a word of English, however he confided that if he revealed the names to the BIG BOYS, his family would be executed. Several days later, the syrian who tipped off the police was executed. His head never found. It is told that the King Pin called for his head.
  • One day all will know what really went on with this "Monos Island Drug Bust". For now all the talk above and what was reported is a load of crap and just speculation. It is so amazing how distorted facts can get when it reaches the mouth of the ignorant who seeks attention. The appeal is being sort in this matter, until then the truth will have to be concealed. But I am writing a book on this incident where the truth will be revealed. This came out of years of following all involved and listening to their stories. Our media is so far from the truth on this event, you will all be surprised. Stay tuned!
  • SSB let us know when your book is out thanks. i know for sure that the average trini only knows the top world but there is another world we really are obliviuos to and dont have a clue to what going on. i see only glimpses of it.
  • wow, after reading some of the comments, it only just hit me how ignorant trinis could really be.
