The Gang Suppression Unit made a drug bust in Corozal a week ago. The story is slightly dated, but it's still worth reporting because it seems to put a new twist on the domestic drug trade. The GSU's operation focused on the parcel section of the Tropic Air office in Ranchito Village, Corozal where they busted a kilo of cocaine.
The GSU says the suspected drug arrived on a Tropic Air flight from San Pedro which arrived at the Tropic Air office in Ranchito at 7:15 am on Friday the 21st April. The GSU waited all day for someone to come and pick it up, but no one did. So, at 4:30 in the afternoon, they opened the package at the Tropic Air Cargo where they found a kilo of compressed cocaine neatly wrapped inside a box labeled "Devin Biscuits."
And while no one came to pick up the package, the GSU has searched the homes of the person who was named as the receiver and the sender, but so far none of the names on the package seem to have been actually involved in the cocaine cargo.
The cocaine brick – valued at about $25,000 Belize dollars has been sent to the Forensic laboratory for official confirmation.
