A second businessman has been taken into custody as part of the continuing investigation into the discovery of the illegal airstrip and aircraft found earlier this month close to Santa Fe, in Region Nine.
In addition, heavy duty equipment belonging to both persons in custody has also been impounded.
Among the duo is a contractor from Region Nine, who was arrested on Monday by ranks from the Lethem Police Station. A front end loader belonging to him was also impounded. It is suspected that the equipment may have been used in the construction of the airstrip. The second person held is a businessman.
