By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Police recovered more than 2 kilograms of suspected cannabis after two men reportedly fled from officers during a patrol in Trial Farm Village on Sunday night.
According to police information, members of the Mobile Interdiction Unit were conducting a mobile patrol in a marked police vehicle at around 9:30 p.m. on September 6 when they noticed two men standing beside a motorcycle near a park by the river.
Police say that when the men saw the patrol approaching, one of them attempted to retrieve a black knapsack that had been left on the ground in a nearby bushy area.
The man was reportedly unable to retrieve the bag before both individuals escaped on the motorcycle.
Officers subsequently recovered the knapsack and searched it, finding two parcels wrapped in transparent plastic containing a green leafy substance suspected to be cannabis.
The parcels were taken to the Orange Walk Police Station and weighed separately.
One parcel weighed 1,052 grams, while the second weighed 1,040 grams, bringing the combined weight to 2,092 grams, or just over 2 kilograms.
Both parcels were labelled and deposited as found property.
No arrests were reported in connection with the discovery.
