“Police were on patrol in the Pine Ridge area on the Placencia Road when they came across the twin engine black and white Beechcraft airplane that had apparently crash landed in that area. And also found on the scene were a number of empty fuel containers that we suspect contained aviation fuel. The area was searched and no other items were found.”

“We were not able to establish that other than to say that the plane in the Placencia area seemed to have been there for a few days based on the surroundings when it was processed by the scenes of crime.”
