Police have made some major marijuana busts – and they did it with K-9 assistance. This morning at ten, a special joint team comprising Special Branch, the Mobile Interdiction Team, the Special Patrol Unit, the Anti Drug Unit and the K9 Unit searched a home at 2368 Samuel Haynes Street in Belama Phase 1. Nothing was found, but police saw one of the residents, 28 year old
Adrian MYVETT toss a black kit bag in the river behind the house. Police fished it out of the water and found two black plastic bags with 4.23 kilois, or 9 pounds five ounces of cannabis. Myvett and three others were in the house, namely, 28 year old Steve ZELAYA, 23 year old Marcellie HALLIDAY and 32 year old Tricia MARSHALLECK.
All 4 were arraigned today before Magistrate Cayetano, where they pleaded not guilty and were granted bail of $5,000, which they were able to meet.
Earlier in the morning, at 8:30, the K-9 unit did the nose-work to come up with another, smaller bust. Police say the dog led the team to look beneath a grey Volvo parked on Oleander Street in Belize City. Police found a plastic bottle with 111 grams, about four ounces of suspected cannabis. No one was around so it was labeled as found property.
In another police operation, 18 year old Francis Pollard of Arlington Drive was found yesterday on Doris Brooks Street with 129 grammes, or four and a half ounces of marijuana. Pollard was charged with drug trafficking.
