“Since the latter part of last year, as you are all aware, we had seen an increased level of activity in terms of illicit aircrafts trafficking through Belize’s airspace. We have also seen where we [have] in the past recovered a plane and we’ve found at various scenes wreckages that have been burnt.”
It is reminiscent of Friday’s discovery where the charred remains of an aircraft was found along with its contents intact not far away. In the wake of that landing back in 2018, Superintendent David Chi, the officer commanding Orange Walk Police Station at the time, and Police Constable Norman Anthony were arrested and charged for their purported roles in facilitating the landing of that aircraft.
