While police continue to look for the missing drug plane fuselage in Belize's southern waters, multiple reports say cocaine hauled out of those waters by "kilo-fishers" are already in circulation and on the move northward to Mexico.
And, today, the Anti Narcotics Unit intercepted 16 pounds of product apparently moving north. They found the 7 kilos at a checkpoint in the Little Belize area in the Corozal.
Three men were inside the four door Chevy Silverado pickup. 23 year old Progresso villager, Eric Barrera was driving two mennonite farmers, 40 year old Cornelius Reddecopp, and 32 year old John Reddecopp 32yrs, both farmers of Little Belize Village.
Police found the drugs in the back of the pickup in a dry bag - the kind commonly used by divers. The cocaine packages looked frayed, as if they had been subjected to wet conditions.
The men have been detained pending charges.
