So, while that family worries about their loved one, the police are still trying to piece together this quite unusual bust.
Unusual because cartel stamped weed being imported into Belize is not known to be a standard featured of the drug trade. We asked the Commissioner of
Police whether the Mexican Cartel is now supplying the majority of Belize's marijuana.
Allen Whylie, Commissioner of Police
"We are concerned because we know Belize has been a trans-shipment point for drugs for many many years and again we know that some portion of that
drugs do stay in Belize and are consumed by the local population. I can't say where those drugs were heading because I have not been informed so if
someone informed you of that then kudos to you and that person but I don't know where they were heading."
Sources tell us that the weed connection is between Mexico and Orange Walk, which then takes care of distribution to other parts of the country.
