And as we told you last night, cops also made a bust in Silk Grass Village. It happened at around noon at the residence of, 60 year old Joseph Nolberto. The Commissioner told us what happened:
Chester Williams - Police Commissioner
"Yesterday evening, police in Hopkins received information of a drug deal that was about to go down. Based on that, they visited a house in the Silk Grass area whereupon arrival they saw a male person fleeing the house carrying a bag. He was pursued and during the pursuit he threw the bag, he was captured quickly, brought back to the location where the bag was thrown and upon inspection of the bag police found two parcels of cocaine, each weighing one kilo. He was taken back to the house where others were detained at the time and police conducted search of a vehicle owned by a figure from Orange Walk and a search of that vehicle yielded one additional parcel of cocaine, again another kilo, and thirty-nine thousand, five hundred dollars in cash. Those persons, the man from Orange Walk, the one from Silk Grass and another person, there are three of them, are currently detained at the Dangriga Town police station pending charges of drug trafficking."
