Customs Enforcement in the north is known for catching contraband alcohol and produce - as we showed you last night. But, today, they busted a kilo of high grade weed, which they believe was coming down from Botes. That's the Mexican village which is across from Santa Cruz in Belize.
This morning, acting on intelligence, Customs set chase after four men in a silver Volkswagen car on the San Antonio Road. One of the men escaped, and three were arrested: one is from Taylor's Alley in Belize City, and two are from Carmelita village in the Orange Walk District.
Customs say they men had the kilo of weed separated into two bricks, which was stuffed into hardhats, the kind used by construction workers.
The three are being held, along with the vehicle and the weed by the police Narcotics Unit pending charges. Police believe they know the identity of the fourth suspect who escaped.
