And, later, on Friday evening, that Anti-Gang Task Force visited a caye east of Dangriga, controlled by one of the town's gangs. Police found a weather worn machine gun, this time an AK-47 wrapped in a grey tarp along with an empty magazine.
ACP Myvett told us more:
ACP Joseph Myvett
"As a part of the same investigation police sometime around 4:45pm on Friday last visited an unnamed caye just east of Dangriga where they conducted searches and found a grey canvas hidden and in that was wrapped a green AK-47 rifle with an empty magazine. No one was found in that area, so that too was also processed and will be sent to the lab for comparison."

"These weapons are obviously high powered weapons, I don't know if they are military grade, but based on your information and your knowledge what type of activities or operations are these types of weapons mainly used in?"
ACP Joseph Myvett
"I do not want to go into any specifics, but we know that in the past coming from south come along with drug shipments and they are usually either hidden on these cayes or are left abandoned out there and then they are either found by those going out to sea to fish or those going out to sea to conduct other illicit activities."
