And, tonight, more evidence has surfaced in Neuland, Corozal, near the site of that recent drug plane interception. Yesterday, police found 15 canisters of aviation fuel that match nine containers discovered in a vehicle on the day of the bust. However, ASP Stacy Smith says police cannot yet officially link the two finds.

"There is no way at this point to make a conclusive determination as to that however we are viewing, reviewing this discovery and its nexus to the April 10 incident as Commissioner Rosado would have stated on the date of the press briefing that it is an ongoing investigation and it consists of intelligence gathering as well as surveillance."

"Have any Belizeans been charged since the last time we've spoken about it?"
ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"No, No Belizean has been charged however as commissioner Rosado indicated on that occasion it's an ongoing investigation. I must state that the interaction with the Belizean was well documented so we know exactly who they are and we are continuing with the investigation."
Reporter
"Are you guys under the assumption that it was the same 9 that were found on the coastline or a different set of fuel?"
ASP Stacy Smith, Staff Officer
"As I said we would not be able to conclusively say that or make any guess in relation to it but they were found in the general area so they are being reviewed as being related in terms of establishing a nexus between the two, if any."
