A police officer has been detained, along with two other Belize City residents, following a police operation at a Banak Street resident. The operation led to the discovery of a large quantity of cannabis. ComPol Williams told us more.

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“Yes, yesterday the police searched a home on Banak Street. That search led to the discovery of I think, either a kilo or a pound of marijuana. The police later learned that a police officer also resides at the house. And so based on that, the two persons who are present and the police officer has been arrested and charged for drug trafficking.”
