posted (April 24, 2017)
Today a Belize City resident appeared in the Magistrate's Court for the possession of a homemade firearm. Thirty year old Fenton Reyes was charged for keeping a prohibited firearm, keeping ammunition without a gun license, and for the possession of a little more than 1/10 of an ounce of cannabis. According to reports, a police mobile patrol stopped and searched Reyes on Krooman Road yesterday where they found a homemade .22 pen gun with one round of ammunition and the cannabis.

Reyes pled not guilty in court, but no bail was offered because of the firearm and ammo charges. He was remanded to prison until June 16.

The cops found another homemade gun early this morning during a joint operation between the Quick Response Team and the San Ignacio Police's Special Branch. This time they searched a major drug hotspot in Santa Elena where they found a homemade double barrel shotgun. No one was around when this handcrafted weapon was found, so it was submitted as 'Found Property'.
