The drug, one thousand two hundred and twenty-six pounds of it, packed in bales, was destroyed today in western Belize in an operation mounted by the police. The other very significant event happened here in the city in the Supreme Court where Superintendent David Chi, Police Constable Norman Anthony and Peter Friesen appeared.
