Unofficial reports from rural police say that at around 9:00 on Saturday morning, the ADU saw a tinted SUV turning into the Boom Road from the Northern Highway. The ADU tried to get the driver to stop, but he sped off, and the officers set chase. The driver of the suspect SUV then did an unusual thing; he came to a sudden stop and one dark skinned man jumped out carrying a duffle bag. The SUV zoomed off, and the man dashed into the bushes and the officers abandoned the vehicle chase, to set chase on foot after the suspect with the bag.

They couldn't catch him but he dropped this red duffle bag - which carried the 9 bricks of cocaine weighing 10.3 kilos or 22.7 pounds. We are told the drugs have a street value in Belize of more than 350 thousand dollars, since it's around thirty five thousand dollars per kilo.

Typically such packages go north, but out sources tell us that these drugs were coming from the north to the city to find a buyer. No arrests were made and the drugs have been labeled as found property.
