The heat wave is also intense in the Yucatan peninsula from Cancun to Chetumal. And that southern border city is also being affected by a cartel fueled crime wave. We've told you about the killings related to drug gangs in Belize's favorite Mexican destination. And this morning there was news that Mexican Marines had intercepted an estimated three and a half tonnes of suspected cocaine.
Mexican news reports say, the marines spotted two boats offshore that wanted to enter Mexican territory. Reports say only one boat was captured.
Our Coast Guard Commander told us they were tracking the vessels last night, but they didn't pass through Belizean waters. He said the boats passed outside our waters and went towards Mahaual. He noted that Honduras also made a huge cocaine bust on water recently.
