posted (August 20, 2009)

Jalacte Village, it’s a remote south-western border outpost in the Toledo District where Guatemalans and Belizeans move and live freely between both countries. But police say a 39 year old Guatemalan farmer of Jalacte Village named Santos Moh violated that spirit of easy coexistence by possession of some powerful ammunition.

A search was conducted inside his home where police found three rounds of ammunition for an assault rifle, specifically 5.56 rounds. Seven persons who were inside the house at the time of the search and discovery have all been detained. They are Santos Moh, nineteen year old Luis Moh, twenty one year old Guatemalan soldier Arnoldo Moh, thirty seven year old Natividad Kib and three minors, all of Jalacte Village in the Toledo District. They were detained pending charges.
