On Monday afternoon, at around 2:00, police received information from Special branch that a parcel was flown in on a Topic Air flight. Police searched the cargo area and found a brown box, which had been mailed from Corozal Town to San Pedro. Inside, they found police found 444.7 kilos - or just under a pound - of marijuana. Because police could not link it to anyone, the drugs were deposited as found property.

Acting on Special Branch intelligence once again, police visited the Municipal Airstrip in Placencia, and they intercepted a domestic flight coming once again from Corozal Town. They searched one of the packages and found some vegetables. But a closer inspection of a bundle of cilantro yielded a bulky package. When it was opened, the police found 208 grams - or 7.3 ounces - of marijuana. Again, because no owner could be tied to the package, it was deposited as found property.

And the accurate intelligence, led police today to the Rhaburn Ridge area, located at Mile 37 on the Northern Highway. The officers found an abandoned house and when they searched it, they found 70 grams - or 2.46 ounces - of marijuana. The officers kept at it, and in area east of Rhaburn Ridge, they found a marijuana plantation, measuring 15 by 25 feet. The officers uprooted and destroyed 300 plants, each measuring, 2-3 feet in height.
