posted (March 14, 2014)
Belize's sugar continues to be smuggled across to Guatemala - and while that contraband trade probably goes through so many different routes, today in Punta Gorda, The Toledo Institute for Development and Environment known as TIDE caught one contraband mission in progress.

They went out and found this Guatemalan dorey - reportedly with its five horsepower engine broken down, but in Belizean waters. 50 sacks of BSI sugar were strapped unto the dorey and three Guatemalan men Pedro and Mario Quv and Marcos Che were on board. Tide took the dorey into Customs and handed the men over to Immigration.
