By Aaron Humes: The Police Department’s K-9 Unit has been active in the North, sniffing out drugs and a firearm.
At six on Wednesday, officers recovered 88 grams of cannabis from an empty lot on Sittee River Street, Orange Walk Town; this was deposited as found property as no one was in the area.
Three hours later on Jamaica Street, police located a transparent plastic bag within which was hidden 45 transparent bags containing up to 7.2 grams of cocaine each, and a second bag within which were three transparent plastic bags containing 8.4 grams of crack cocaine each, hidden under a septic tank. This too is classified as found property.
In Corozal Town, 24 year old mechanic Michael Whittaker of San Andres Road allegedly tried to dispose of a black 9mm pistol and 15-shot magazine containing 15 FC rounds by throwing it over his fence. He was unsuccessful and has been charged with keeping a firearm and ammunition without having been granted a gun license.
Finally, police recovered 48 pounds of cannabis in parcels on a empty lot near the Four Mile Lagoon, Orange Walk District which was deposited as found property.
