SAN IGNACIO MERCHANT LOSES HIS CONTRABAND INVESTMENT.
The military in Guatemala had a road block check point by Paxcaman, just over the border in the PETEN. Ostensibly to catch drug shipments, going North intransit by USA buying syndicates of criminal gangs within the USA.
Unfortunately, they stopped a truck and driver, one 22 year old Victor Manuel Osorio Sarceno. We are not sure if the contrabandista was Guatemalan or Belizean? We do know he bought his load OF 140 sacks of white sugar, bought from a San Ignacio Town merchant, here in Western Belize. No harm in that though. It was white sugar made in Belize. Gets a higher price in Guatemala at the capital of the STATE of Peten.
Both the truck and the 140 sacks of white sugar were confiscated. Hope the San Ignacio merchant sold his load HERE for cash, in Belize?
A year or more back, the Mennonites tell me they only sell corn to the GUATEMALANS for contraband, if they pay CIF in Belize. They let the GUATS take the chance of smuggling across the border.
