But while Belmopan criminals are becoming more and more desperate, criminal elements in Teakettle seem to be preparing for war. On Saturday while conducting joint operations on Young Gial road Police and CIB discovered a poor-man's armory hidden in an empty lot across the street from a convicted drug dealer. ACP Myvette gave us a rundown of the stockpile earlier today.
