Tonight, police are in possession of more than a tonne of cocaine - after they intercepted a drug plane this morning - after a fiery exchange with the drug runners.
It unfolded very early this morning in the southern Belize District when a team of police and BDF intercepted a drug plane off the Coastal Highway.
We have all the details for you tonight - but we start with the drugs, which are being stored and secured at the Racoon Street Police situation. 7News was there when they arrived:...
Jules Vasquez reporting
The bales of cocaine arrived at the Raccoon Street police station just after 7:00 this morning.
We were kept out of the secure compound, but saw bale after bale offloaded from three pickup trucks and taken upstairs at the Raccoon street station.
Commissioner of police Chester Williams was driving this mobile and wore an operational uniform.
While masked BDF soldiers stood guard in front of the police station - securing the multimillion dollar bust.
As for the drug plane, police got someone to fly the King Air 200 out of the area and it landed at the PGIA this afternoon.
