Two detainees released in drug bust

The Police investigation of Monday’s major marijuana bust at the Belize City Port seems to be stuck in first gear. Truck owner Ernesto Castillo and driver Arthur Tillett were released from police detention Wednesday night after questioning. According to Superintendent Gerald Westby, the investigation is being focussed in the north, supposedly where the rented container was taken during the period of May twentieth to May twenty ninth. The police are hopeful of an arrest by Monday in connection with the discovery of the three thousand pounds of weed hidden behind a fake wall in the forty-foot container. Although a number of names have been circulating in the local rumor mill, police have declined to release the identity of the person who actually rented the container from the shipping company.
