Belize National Security in great peril from Narco and Human Traffickers

Posted on November 16, 2010 by takenwomen


Drug Plane
National Security is steadily becoming a major concern due to recent illicit activities involving airplanes in northern, central and southern Belize. The plane that landed over the weekend in the south had a cocaine cargo estimated at one hundred and forty million dollars.  But there are other incidents involving planes.  As you are well aware on September eighteenth, nineteenth and October third, three flights originating from Haiti jointly brought in thirty-four Chinese Nationals in the cover of darkness after the P.G.I.A. was closed. A month ago on October thirteenth, an Anti-Drug Unit staged an operation in Sarteneja Village in Corozal where another suspected PAISA drug plane landed and unloaded cocaine that was picked up by a waiting truck before the anti-drug unit could get there. Five persons were later arrested in Chunox Village, about twenty miles away from Sarteneja.

A Record Bust



2604 kilos of cocaine, that's 5704 pounds - the largest drug bust in Belizean history is tonight being moved to a secure location after being weighed at the Punta Gorda Police station.


The weight was confirmed to us this afternoon by Police and Public Safety Minister Doug Singh who told us via telephone that the cocaine with an estimated street value of 46 million US dollars will be destroyed as soon as possible.
