And police made another substantial weed find this morning - this one was apparently coming from the north. A mobile patrol in the Sandhill area stopped this Toyota Camry at mile 19 on the Phillip Goldson Highway.  

The driver, a taxi man from Corozal, saw the polcie and tried to speed off.  He also threw a crocus sack out the car window.  But police pursued and caught him and then brought him back to get the sack - which contained 5 parcels of weed.  

The driver, Jose Martin Maldonado from Corozal Town  was arrested and charged for drug trafficking.

The bundles of weed weighed in at 11.64 pounds or 5.2 kilos.
