7 News Belize

Suspected drug planes can often traffic above and through Belize, and sometimes, they leave a plane behind. But in almost all cases, the drug cargo is removed, and those planes are burnt to get rid of evidence. But yesterday, Belize police, acting on a tip from Guatemalan Civil Aviation managed to intercept a CESSNA Piper Aztec single engine plane that was in good working order. Now, there was no drugs on board, but we know the plane was found in northern Belize on a cane road. It had made an illegal landing, and had no flight plan for Belize - clearly indicating an illicit mission. No drugs were found on board and there was no trace of the passengers. But, the plane was in good working order so the police got someone to fly it out of there to the Phillip Golden Airport where it is parked on the tarmac tonight.
