Drug plane found abandoned in Corozal

Corozal police are tonight trying to find out who landed this aircraft and left it abandoned on a dirt road in that northern district. Acting on a tip, on Sunday authorities visited the location in the Santa Cruz area and found the twin engine Beechcraft King Air. Although there was no one in the area, the authorities did find on the side of the road six twelve-gallon and two fifteen-gallon plastic containers, each filled with aviation fuel. They also discovered seven empty fifteen-gallon containers. While it is assumed that the plane was involved in the drug transhipment trade, no evidence of narcotics was found.
