So the police are saying in their report that they did go to the site, while Roger Plett said up to yesterday that he hadn’t taken them. Now, it’s a situation where there is distrust on all sides, but it starts with the police who don’t seem to trust his account – even while, by all appearances, not doing their work as thoroughly as they suggest:

"I spoke to the San Ignacio police and he told me that they had handed it off to Belmopan. They confirmed that they had not gone to the scene and would not be able to go to the scene because of the sensitivity of that area and that they could not move into that area along the border without the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I spoke to CEO Sylvester minutes after and CEO Sylvester is telling me what, we can't move until we get the report from the police. So the police is saying we can't go on the scene until we get we get Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs is saying we can't move until the police report. So what I'm asking what is the police say; forget any queries or questions, what did the police say, what is the outcome of their report?"
George Lovell - CEO, Ministry of National Security
"The police somewhat was not fully support the kind of position that Roger and his team is given and that is clear in the report. I cannot unless I'm proven otherwise doubt what Roger is saying because he is given a first-hand account of what transpired and so there is a need for further investigation. When you talk about San Ignacio police not going there I can tell you that I spoke with the acting Commissioner of Police, Mr. Russell Brackett and he assures me that the police went on the ground."

"They have said that they have not taken anybody to the site."
George Lovell - CEO, Ministry of National Security
"I hear that, I understand because this is information that is now being brought to my attention by you all, I need to go there now and confirm."
