We also asked the Commissioner to provide details about that drug plane which they did find 10 days ago on the Road between Chunox and Sarteneja in the Corozal District.
As we told you, on the morning of May 28, a Hawker Siddeley HS 125 jet made an emergency crash landing on an ill-suited road. The drug runners, and their cargo, were extracted before local law enforcement arrived. But, as we showed you, police say that their tracking forced the narco-traffickers to divert from their original landing site.
Well, the commissioner told us today that the 2 persons detained for that plane have since been released. Two more have been detained, but with no drugs, and no evidence, the cops may have to release those persons as well.
Here's what Williams had to say about the difficulties in that case:
Chester Williams - Commissioner of Police
"I know we had detained an additional 2 persons for questioning, but we have not come up with anything concrete to say [that] we can charge anybody. By now, we believe that the drugs have moved into Mexico. So, the operation within Belize, where that plane is concerned, has come to an end."
Reporter
"Those additional 2 persons are separate from the other two were detained."
Chester Williams
"Yes."
Reporter
"And the original 2, they have been released?"
Chester Williams
"They have been released, yes."
Reporter
"Is that expected to happen with these two, since as you mentioned."
Chester Williams
"Well, it's an investigation process. We have to see how the investigation goes."
