“Dipped” and Then Detained
posted (July 19, 2013)
Tonight, there are 10 deportees from the US who are in the custody of the Gang Suppression Unit. They arrived at the PGIA this evening on a charter Flight which came and brought them back to Belize after making a stop in El Salvador to drop off deportees for that country.

The GSU reports that 10 of these men will be charged with felony offences, and one of the men will be charged with failure to report and failure to notify police of a change of address because this is his second deportation.

One of the 10 is Owen Parham, who will be charged with non-appearance at court for charges of handling stolen goods. And if the name sounds familiar it should. That's because police issued a warrant for his arrest in Corozal and Orange Walk for burglary since December of last year. He's been wanted ever since police lifted finger prints which matched to his in their AFIS System at the crime scenes in both of those districts.

The GSU were expecting 2 more deportees this evening, but there was a last-minute change of plans, so only 10 arrived.
