Corruption within a police unit in Belize. Ah, oh. You know, besides Mexico's civil war there is the instability with Guatemala as well.

The broken wing of the drug laden aircraft in Belize.  Now, the shipment has been found and it is believed there is corruption within a law enforcement unit in Belize.

...And there was a plentiful supply of plastic fuel containers (click title to entry - thank you)  here at the scene and many more hidden in the bushes three and a half miles down the road between miles 59 and 60. 

And while B-SAG guarded the plane at mile 56, twenty-one miles north - Independence police intercepted a white van occupied by 4 veteran police officers and one customs officer - all believed to have participated in landing and offloading the plane. They had muddy boots and wet Anti Drug Unit uniforms. 

Police kept searching and at around 5:00 in the evening, they went to mile 65 - 10 miles from where the plane landed - near the Genus Saw Mill, and about a ¼ mile in they found 80 Bales of COCAINE and 17 loose packs of suspected Cocaine - which we estimate to weigh about two thousand kilos - a street value of 38 million us dollars - again unofficial estimates. 


 









It's a tremendous job of detection by police and just processing the crime scene at mile 56 took extraordinarily long blocking off the only artery to the south for almost 12 hours - causing an especially long queue of traffic to be stalled on the road for hours...
