They intercepted a drug smuggling operation in progress, and the cops are reporting tonight that all 4 occupants of the 2 vehicles which were being used, have been criminally charged.

Those occupants were Blancaneaux Maudel, Michelle Benguche, Kenyon Lewis, and Phylmore King, and at this time they are awaiting an arraignment in Magistrate's Court.

They will be read charges of importation of drugs, drug trafficking and keeping unlicensed ammunition. Most likely, that arraignment will take place early next week.

As we reported, police intelligence led cops from Corozal to intercept 2 vehicles at the northern border at around 9:00 on Wednesday Night. The cops searched the vehicles, and when they sliced open the spare tires in both vehicles, they found packages stuffed inside.
