A small single engine Cessna 210 from Mexico had an emergency landing in northwestern Belize 90 minutes ago - but this one wasn't carrying drugs - though police believe it could still be illicit.

In fact, nothing illegal was found on the flight. But the flight itself, which landed in Blue Creek, did not have a flight plan permitting entry into Belizean airspace. So, it was definitely unauthorised and two Mexicans caught inside the plane were apprehended and are in custody. Reports say a sum of money was found with the pilot. Police are not ruling out the possibility that it could be connected to drugs somehow.
