Associated Press is reporting that a jet with more than a ton of cocaine was seized by the Costa Rican government. The government has also claimed it has detained the two pilots from Guatemala

The Costa Rica Public Safety Ministry said the small plane was flying from Cali, Colombia, before it made an emergency landing Monday (16) at a private airstrip on the Caribbean coast.

The ministry also said the police detained a Guatemalan man and his adult son with 51 packages holding 44 pounds of cocaine each. The suspects are in the custody of prosecutors in the province of Limon.

Authorities said the police determined that the jet belongs to the owner of a chain of retail stores in Guatemala and are trying to locate him.

Officers also suspect a criminal gang in the area helped the jet carry out the emergency landing.
