posted (April 3, 2018)
And just before we the start of news, we learned that the Government is going to hold-off on their new crime measures, designed to curb crimes like Anderson's murder in Belize City.

Attorney General Michael Peyrefitte told us that all the legal work for those emergency zones in Belize City is done. But, the authorities are noticing that the that their initiatives such as mediation and community policing are working well at this time. As we told you there was no gang related violence this weekend.

Peyrefitte says that the police and the Government will be monitoring very closely, and if the quiet in the City continues, then these crime measures will not be activated.

If there is any spike in gang violence and murders once again, those new emergency zones will be brought into effect.
