Tonight, we confirm that nothing was found in a pair of shipping containers that the Police Department deemed suspicious.
As we reported yesterday, based on information, the containers were singled out for special examination at the pierhead.
After being kept under police guard last night, this morning they were moved to the Queen's Bonded Area. Our cameras were there as the Anti-Narcotics Unit, the K-9 Unit, and Customs Enforcement Unit thoroughly searched their contents on the suspicion that illicit substances were stashed inside. We are told they searched each container more than once-but up to news time had not found anything of note. The search has been discontinued at this hour.
According to our information, both containers were imported by two different Belizean companies-one based in Belize City, the other in Orange Walk.
