Vernon Cuthklevin's Containers Still Sequestered
posted (March 21, 2012)
Remember those six suspect containers we told you about last week? Well they are still being held at the Customs Department.

Importer Vernon Cuthklevin - owner of the company Belize Garden Consortium - had told us and Customs personnel that he would be doing his own tests on the three thousand sacks of what he says are fertilizer chemicals.

He said he'd collect those samples on Monday, but Cuthklevin has not turned up at Customs to gather those samples and we have been unable to reach him by phone.

And so, the bottom line remains that the Police Forensic Department has confirmed that the hundreds of sacks, which are declared as titanium dioxide - are not that chemical.

And the hundreds of sacks that should contain ammonium sulfate - some of the samples taken of those are not ammonium sulfate.

And while that's what they are not...what are they? Well, it seems that's the big question facing Customs and the Forensic Department.

We understand some samples have been sent away for testing by Customs to determine just what the chemicals are.

Those results are expected by Friday.
