And while that happened at the northern border, there were also marijuana maneuvers in the northernmost village of Belize, not far from that border.
Corozal police busted a man on a bicycle who was carrying 1 kilo, or 2.2 pounds of weed in a ziplock bag. He's 29 year-old Ryan Sutherland, a construction worker from Belmopan, and tonight, he is detained pending charges for drug trafficking.
At around 11:45 a.m. this morning, officers were conducting mobile patrols on a feeder road between Patchakan and Chan Chen Villages in the Corozal District. Their attention was drawn to a Creole man riding a bicycle in the opposite direction. According to police, when he spotted the officers coming, he suddenly rode into the bushes. The officers followed him, and they spotted him throwing a package into the bushes. The officers detained him, and searched the area. They eventually came upon a transparent ziplock bag, which contained, a brown parcel with 1.023 kilos of marijuana.
