Alleged Weed Traffickers Remanded
posted (July 18, 2019)
Last night, we showed you the comments from Assistant Police Commissioner Marco Vidal, who discussed Tuesday's big drug bust in Belize City, where police came up on 58 pounds of high grade marijuana and over 12 thousand dollars in cash at a stash house.

Well, the common-law couple who lives at that house is in jail tonight. As we told you, they are 34 year-old Lenroy Longsworth, and 21 year-old Kenisha Beaton. They were arraigned today before Magistrate Emerson Banner on the charge of drug trafficking. They both pleaded not guilty to the offense, but the Magistrate informed them that due to the quantity of the drugs, he could not offer them bail. As a result, they were remanded to the Belize Central Prison until September 24th, their next court date.

As we told you, a joint law enforcement team of police and BDF acted on Special Branch intelligence, and moved on the home near Driftwood Bay, located near mile 4 and a half on the Philip Goldson Highway. That intelligence was spot on, and the cops found the High-grade marijuana known as "Mexican Kush", and the large sum of cash.
