Cayman Islands police say a drug raid in the capital has netted nearly 200 pounds (90 kilograms) of marijuana.

The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service says officers arrested two young men in their George Town home on suspicion of drug trafficking. Both suspects have been released on bail and have not been identified by police.

Superintendent Kurt Walton says the marijuana was likely ferried to the British Caribbean territory from Jamaica on a 32-foot (10-meter) canoe with an outboard motor found adrift offshore.

Walton said Sunday that the canoe is being examined by investigators, and asked anyone with information about the craft to contact police.
