The country of Grenada has ordered a Chinese company to stop construction on a nearly completed five-story hotel.

A late discovery by planning inspectors found the Chinese only had permission to build offices.

Authorities said they became suspicious when they confiscated a container supposedly carrying supplies for the country’s stadium, which is being built by the same Chinese company.

Instead of stadium supplies, the container held beds, tables and chairs.

SOGECOA Caribbean, a Chinese based company, is the same one building Grenada's National Stadium.
