Police have still not found the driver or the owner of the Lincoln Navigator which was found with 6 kilos of cocaine at the northern border on Wednesday. As we reported, at about 2:30, the Navigator driven by a Ranchito resident was driving across the Mexican border- when customs officials there called him over for a secondary inspection. That's because the Mexican's did an X-Ray of the Navigator and saw something unusual in the dashboard area. That turned out to be a secret compartment - with a hydraulic door - which only opens when a certain key combination is pressed. Once customs figured out how to open it, they found 6 zilocked kilos of cocaine neatly stacked inside
But that wouldn't be found until after the Navigator made a dramatic high speed U-Turn at Mexican customs and raced back across to the Belize side, where he got a blowout and crashed into the fence for the Customs cargo area. From there, the driver fled on foot - and remains at large. Police have a photo of his driver's license from the Mexicans. The also know the name of the person to whom the Navigator is registered in Belize City - but no arrests have been made.
We'll keep following the story.
