Police Will Investigate Alfonso’s Sicario Selfie
posted (April 25, 2019)
WAVE Radio talk show host and editor of the Guardian newspaper Alfonso Noble raised a lot of eyebrows this weekend when he posed shirtless, beer in one hand, and what looks like a dangerous assault rifle in the other hand. He referred to himself - in jest - as a "Sicario" - the Spanish word for a hitman. It was a joke but the piece of hardware in his hand looked like a prohibited weapon. Thew press asked police about ti today - and the head of National Crimes Investigation said that looks can be deceiving:...

Reporter
"Does the police department protocol aims that photos of individuals posting with high powered rifles who are Belizeans on social media. Does the department investigate those? Because in this case there is a media personality posted a picture of himself and an assault rifle on social media. Is that being investigated?"

ACP Joseph Myvette - Head, NCIB
"Yes, it is. However, sometimes looking at those pictures do not necessarily mean that that weapon is real. It does warrant an investigation and yes the matter is being looked at."
