Drug Plane, Coca Plantations Found Down South 

News Five has confirmed that a drug plane was found last week near Graham Creek Village in the Toledo District. News 5 understands that Belize Defence Force soldiers discovered the hidden plane during a sweep of an illegal airstrip in the area on October 23rd. The hidden crash-landed plane, marked with Mexican flag insignia, was partially concealed with cohune leaves about 30 to 50 meters from the airstrip itself. Though no cargo was located on-site, a satellite phone, GPS, and a notebook containing critical information were recovered.

According to sources, the area around the airstrip showed signs of recent use, including a patchwork of cement repairs and vegetation concealing the runway.

Further inspections led the patrol through three abandoned coca plantations, one of which had recently been cleared. We understand that a suspected illegal entry route into Guatemala was also found. This track, appearing regularly travelled, crosses two bridges. It is believed that the route is used for drug and human trafficking.

This is a developing story.
