Pistol On A Plane
posted (August 23, 2019)
Air cargo - it's one of the fastest ways to send packages around the country. And for traffickers of illicit products, it's one sure way to evade police checkpoints.

But, one anonymous sender's illicit package was intercepted by the cops based on intelligence. Yesterday at 3:00, the Special Operations Team and other units, pulled up at the Belize Municipal Airstrip where they picked up a nondescript brown box from one of the airline companies.

Then the cops peeled open the the box, and found a black Glock 17 9 millimeter pistol with an empty magazine.

Now, the cops are being shady on this one: they aren't saying which airline's cargo service it was - and they are not disclosing the name of the alleged sender. Of course, the name of the sender could be a false flag - because anyone sending a package on air cargo does not have to provide ID and can simply send it anyone's name.

The package was labelled as found property.
