Musa Says Illegal Weapons Cache is the Largest He’s Seen

Late this afternoon, Home Affairs Minister Kareem Musa touched briefly on the drugs and weapons bust carried out by the police department.  He says it is arguably the largest supply of illegal weapons confiscated by law enforcement that he has seen in recent history.  While Musa commended the S.P.U. officers for a job well done, he was unclear whether the operation also included assistance from the Belize Coast Guard.

“I am aware that the police made perhaps one of the biggest busts of high-powered firearms in the history of this country.  I haven’t seen such a cache of high-powered firearms altogether at once, so I want to commend the police on their bust yesterday.  In addition to that, a substantial quantity of cannabis and a substantial quantity of cocaine, as well, and so I think it deserves commending.”

“Sir, did they collaborate with the coast guard, though, in tracking down this island?”

“To my knowledge, no, but I believe they did have a captain who may have taken them, who may have been attached to another department.  I can’t say if it’s coast guard or not.”
