Corozal Police Seize 28 kilogrammes of Cocaine in Sarteneja

Corozal police have confiscated over 28 kilogrammes of suspected cocaine in Sarteneja Village. The operation, which forms part of their ongoing northern operations, resulted in the discovery of 25 parcels of the illicit substance. 

Commissioner of Police Chester Williams reported that the house search took place on Wednesday night, following intelligence that led officers to a residence in Sarteneja. “The search led to the discovery of  25 parcels of what we suspect to be cocaine,” he stated.

Three males and one female “are in police custody and are expected to be charged today for drug trafficking,” Williams confirmed. The parcels, along with the individuals apprehended at the scene, have been secured by law enforcement. 

Commissioner Williams clarified that this operation differs from a previous case in Chunox Village, where six parcels of cocaine were seized.”A number of persons were detained for that. One person pled guilty when the matter went before the court, and the case was withdrawn against the other,” Williams explained.
