Two police officers who were detained in connection with a drug plane landing have been released. As we told you on Friday, the G2 Jet - which can carry two and a half tons of cargo - was found burnt and emptied of its contents in southern Belize. This happened early on Thursday morning.
Today, the commissioner updated us on the case:
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Last week Thursday after midnight information was received of a plane that had landed in extreme south of Belize that is in the Toledo district. A team of police and BDF were dispatched to the area and upon arrival the burnt remains of the plane was found and there was no cargo. The operation team remained in the area for a number of days conducting searches in the area with the hope of finding something and eventually they detained two persons who were found not too far from the vicinity of the plane landing and those two persons are currently in police custody being questioned with view to ascertain if they have any information that could assist police in determining who are those behind that plane landing."
"We had two police officers who were brought in for questioning and again that was because of certain information that we were getting and so it was just done with a view to see if in fact the information obtained was accurate and see if there was any involvement of these officers but so far investigations probed into this matter and we have not found anything to incriminate those two officers as it relates to the plane landing."
