And while that truck was full of sugar, police stopped one that was full of tires this afternoon. Police intercepted the truck on the bypass road reaching the Establo Roundabout in Orange Walk.
The driver told the cops he bought the tires from Shipyard and was taking them to his farm in San Victor where they will be used to plant Dragon Fruits. Based on his background and recent hostile activities near the SIRDI compound in Buena Vista, police doubted the story and escorted the truck to San Victor village. Tyre fires have been popping up on roads across the north since yesterday evening.
The commissioner this morning told us he is now equipping his officers with fire extinguishers to deal with the problem.
