Police Burn Down Marijuana Farm In North

And, lest you think the government might now turn a blind eye to marijuana cultivation, they're not. Today in the Corozal District, police burned more than 1,500 plants.

It happened between 11:00 this morning and 2:30 this afternoon when a joint operation was conducted between Orange Walk Special Branch, the Quick Response Team, and other specialized units. They found a Marijuana plantation about 6 miles North West of Paraiso Village - which is very close to Mexico. It had 1430 mature trees in the ground, while another 220 mature harvested trees were found under a hut. The trees were all uprooted and burnt.
