5 detained in major drug bust

In other news, a mega drug bust, which would usually be a headline, has for this week anyway, been relegated to a footnote. Details are sketchy, but at around 4:00 this morning police raided the rented apartment of a Mexican man at mile three on the Northern Highway where they found around fifty parcels of cocaine. Police have not given any weight for the haul, but sources have put it in the range of the larger drug busts in Belizean history. Five people have been detained, including one Belizean and charges are expected to be filed on Wednesday.
