Tonight Corozal police are holding a man pending charges of drug trafficking after customs caught him with 20 pounds of marijuana.
Early this morning, a customs patrol team was back in that area of "Estero" - which is a contraband river crossing near the village of Patchakan in Corozal North. At around 6:30, they intercepted a vehicle coming from the riverside landing. When he saw Customs, the driver of the Geo Prizm tried to reverse - and the passenger jumped out and threw a large object in the bush.
When customs retrieved it they found a bundle of weed weighing a little more than 20 pounds. The driver sped off, but he was intercepted. He and the weed have been handed over to police who are holding him pending charges.
