Salvadoran Caretaker Busted with Mexican Weed in Corozal
Fifty-two-year-old Abelardo Orellana, a Salvadoran caretaker of Consejo Shores, Corozal District, is in police custody tonight following a sizeable drug bust on Tuesday afternoon by members of the Mobile Interdiction Team. The MIT officers received information that a stash of marijuana was being stored inside a small zinc structure on a farm in Consejo Shores. When they arrived at that location, an operation was conducted which yielded five large plastic bags and a total of one hundred and twenty-one parcels of suspected cannabis concealed inside a pair of drums. Orellana was subsequently arrested and is expected to be charged with possession of controlled drugs with the intent to supply. Commissioner of Police Chester Williams has a few more details.
