By Chrisbert Garcia: While conducting an anti-drug operation in Belmopan City on December 19th, the police’s Special Branch Tactical Response Squad executed a search at the residence of 30-year-old Alden Forte on the strength of a warrant for illegal drugs and firearms.
Upon arrival at the Baboon Street residence, officers saw Forte throw a black bag over the fence, into his neighbor’s yard. The bag was retrieved, opened in his presence and found inside were seven transparent packets containing cannabis, amounting to a total of 21 grams.
Forte was then arrested and charged for the offense of “possession of controlled drugs”.
