A Belizean police officer has been detained in Salvador. 7News has confirmed
that Inspector Mario Alcoser left Belize yesterday evening to attend a training
program in Korea. His route was Belize, Salvador, New York and then Korea. But
Isnp. Alcoser was stopped at the Salvador airport because he allegedly boarded
the plane with his gun and didn’t declare it. He was detained by Salvadoran
authorities and information to us is that he will be sent back to Belize tomorrow
without being charged. It is then expected that he will fly out again –
this time without his gun. Insp. Alcoser is attached to the police’s IT
unit in Belmopan.
