A cop who was acting up at the northern border was caught with a stolen gun - and, get this, it was stolen from the police department.

That’s right! 

Here’s how it happened.  Police say that at around 7:20 last night, they were called to the Corozal Border, where a Police Constable was resisting the border authorities and giving them trouble. He had a firearm in his possession, and one of the responding officers relieved him of the weapon. It turned out to be a 9mm pistol, which was loaded ten live rounds of 9mm ammunition. The cops then did a background check on the weapon and realized that it had been stolen from Precinct 3 in Belize City. 

Reports say that as a result, 28-year-old Constable Darwin Hernandez, and 34-year-old Ronny Hernandez have both been arrested and charged with keeping an unlicensed firearm and keeping unlicensed ammunition.

It is notable that a few weeks ago we told you about Constable Nadir Mendoza who was accused of stealing 3 guns from precinct three.  This could be one of those guns.
