It seems the police are constantly battling with narcos - to find their many and multiplying clandestine airstrips, and destroy them, where possible.  

So then why are the cops building an airstrip for a drug plane behind Crooked Tree?  That’s what concerned villagers reached out to ask to find out yesterday.  And we’ve learned that it’s to fly a drug plane out of there - one that is literally stuck in the mud, or, at least stuck in the soil.  

This is the Gulfstream G2 that landed behind Crooked Tree a little over a month ago.  The jet is intact, but the soil is not.  And now police have to build a clay runway to fly it out of there. So for the past few days, they’ve been trucking in clay to build up the runway.  We asked the Commissioner boat ti today:

Jules Vasquez
"Would you update us on the plane that is stuck behind crooked tree. I understand the nose gear can't turn in the sand or in the earth that is there and residents have informed us that in fact there is a construction on the way of some type of cement runway. Would you apprise us as to what is happening with that?"

Chester Williams- Commissioner of Police
"The runway is not going to be cement. It's of clay. And the runway is being built to facilitate the moving of the aircraft from that location to a more secure location. Once the plane has been removed then we are going to destroy that runway."

Last night’s rains have delayed the project. The police are hoping they can sell this jet. We note that there’s no more parking for drug related aircraft at the BDF arising since none of the drug planes have bene sold so far.
