Playa Del Carmen, a Hotbed for Narco-Traffickers
Playa Del Carmen is a choice tourist destination for Belizeans and many other visitors who travel there for sun, beach, and cuisine. But the once idyllic location has also become a hotbed for narco-traffickers. Over the weekend, as many as seven persons were killed at a bar. News reports say the violence has to do with an ongoing turf war between drug lords operating to gain control of Playa.
