"Well, police have been up and down at Map Caye, Swallow Caye and the other Cayes within that area to try and establish motives and to see if there was anyone present when this incident happened. I know there have been about four or five times we got the assistance of the Coast Guard and several persons have been detained. More than ten persons have been detained and they have been questioned but unfortunately they had to be released because of not having all the evidence to charge anyone at this moment."
