For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ The unauthorized landings of private aircrafts in northern Belize, primarily in the Orange Walk District pose a grave national security threat to the country. Since the beginning of the year, at least four suspected drug planes have landed in an area known as Tres Leguas which is not far from the Belize/Mexico border in the northwest. In all cases, the planes were either damaged upon touching down at the clandestine landing strips or torched in an attempt to destroy key evidence. At no time has the Belize Police Department been able to intercept the landings, nor have there been any arrests in connection with the illegal activity. Minister of State Elodio Aragon Junior says that more can be done by way of intelligence gathering to stem narco-trafficking activities in the north.
