Alert police work may have thwarted another broad daylight armed robbery in downtown Belize City today. Williams told us how police tracked down a suspicious character and found a gun on Orange street:...
DCP Chester Williams, Commander - Operations
"This morning the police were able to recover one firearm off the streets that occurred in Albert Street area. Police were in pursuit of a person who was seen looking suspiciously and the person managed to elude the police and when police searched an area, they came across one 9mm pistol. We believe that it was with the person and he may have been in the Albert Street area to try to perpetrate some criminal act and again, the vigilance of the police were able to avoid him executing what he may have had planned on Albert Street and on Tuesday we had the recovery of 2 firearms on Reggae Street, 2 9mm pistols as well and again our operations continue particular in the Port Loyola area with a view to be able to retrieve from off the streets as much firearms as we can. After all the illegal firearms are creating problems for us."
Police have one suspect detained.
