And the police believe that the peddler that stashed the drugs headed north. In this month alone, there have been two big busts in Corozal. But now they're turning to the public for more information on drugs that may be circulating close to the border.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police "Our northern operation team has been doing well and they have been able to make two significant seizures, we have the 8kg and we have the 28kg of suspected cocaine. So that goes to show that they are doing as much as they can. We know that might just be pittance compared to what might be in the area. We have received information and we're acting on those information and I just urge the public if they know of anyone who have or are in possession of drugs to let us know and we'll go in and do what needs to be done. Our strong presence along the irregular border crossing area continues with the police and the BDF and to some extent even customs to make sure that we do not have these drugs going over into the Mexican side easily. We know that once it gets there then it goes north and that's a problem to our counterparts in the US so we continue to work along with them as well to see what we can do to be able to stem this issue."
