Tonight there are two stories coming out of Chetumal involving Belizeans. The first is about three Belizeans caught in Subtiniente Lopez and accused of trafficking almost a kilo of cocaine. Michael Ashton Ramirez, Orlando Habet and Ruperto Tzul were caught along with Mexican Andres Freddy Vargas yesterday afternoon. Mexican police say they had 900 grammes, about two pounds of cocaine in a vehicle with Corozal license plates. In other news from that area, Por Esto Yucatan is reporting that some heavy equipment stolen from the Belize Customs Yard ended up outside Calderitas Mexico. A man named Enrique Santana Sergio Magaña told Mexican police he was hired to find the heavy duty road equipment and he located it at a farm 400 meters from Calderitas. But the Mexican police said they could not act because it was on private property. Belize customs told us there is no truth to the report - nothing has been stolen from their compound. A customs official did tell us that there is a commercial dispute between a Belizean company and a Mexican partner - but everything that has been exported has been done so legally.
