So, that kind of echoes what was happening here at the same time - and, indeed, it shows that whenever drug planes land, there's usually two groups working with the narcos: law enforcement and movers of heavy equipment who can clear landing strips.
And, of course, the police are used for all sorts of stuff including firepower. Which, brings us to the 5 weapons found at last night's drug bust. One of them was stolen from the police station
In Benque Viejo - while there are persistent reports that the four others were assigned to the same compromised operations unit. We have spoken to officers who are familiar with one of the assault rifles - which was broken and repaired with improvised parts.
But, today the Commissioner denied that though - he said they are still checking on it:
Jules Vasquez
"Sir, are you able to speak about the 4 firearms found, you said one was assigned to Benque Viejo. We have persistent reports that the other 4 are assigned to these operations teams that use to work under Mr. Vidal in that unit, are you all able to confirm that>"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"We have made checks and that is not the case. Nonetheless, as a part of the investigation process, we are going to be making further checks, but from what we know at this time, those firearms do not form part of our inventory."
We note that these are the same weapons used to fire on the four brave police officers form the ISF who resounded - so if they are indeed all police weapons, it would be a matter of great concern.
