A significant drug interception on the George Price Highway has resulted in the arrest of three individuals and the seizure of 49 pounds of cannabis. The suspects, identified as Whitney Doris Alford, 21, from Unitedville; Lisa Marie Gonzalez, 31, from Santa Elena; and Francisco Ernesto Landaverde, 23, from San Ignacio, face charges of possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply. The incident occurred on Monday night during a coordinated checkpoint operation by the Mobile and Highway Interdiction Units. Police attempted to search a silver Ford Escape with four occupants, but the driver fled, prompting a high-speed chase. Upon interception, two male suspects escaped, while two women were detained. A thorough search of the vehicle uncovered multiple parcels of suspected cannabis. Landaverde later surrendered to authorities. ASP Stacy Smith confirmed the arrests, emphasizing the collaborative efforts of the police units in curbing drug trafficking.
