Police destroy O.W. weed plantation

Lest viewers get the impression that all illegal drugs in Belize are imported, police have also been actively engaged in destroying the nation’s once thriving marijuana industry. On Friday morning an anti-drug operation in the Orange Walk District led to the discovery of a weed plantation a mile and a half east of San Felipe Village. According to a police release, some three thousand, one hundred mature plants were uprooted and a parcel containing three pounds of processed cannabis was seized. No people were found in the area.
