“Police Operations Simultaneous Everywhere”
Mon, August 21, 2017
At the top of the news, we told about the 3 murders which happened over the weekend. But Police aren't just sitting on their hands.

You may have noticed that during the last few days of last week, police had an unusual increase in checkpoints all over the country. That's part of their POSE, or Police Operations Simultaneous Everywhere. Today, the Belmopan Operations Commander apologized for the inconvenience it may have caused you, but assured, that the operations were a success. Here's how he outlined the number of seizures and arrests these operations led to:

ACP Edward Broaster - Acting Commander, Eastern Division
"I want to apologize to the Belizean citizenry who may have gotten caught up in the Police operation "POSE", Police Operation Simultaneous Everywhere, that occurred midnight Wednesday night, and culminated midnight Saturday. That operation was launched countrywide. We had officers directing checkpoints countrywide, raids conducted and vehicles checked. And, the result of that operation was successful, I might add. We've managed to seize over 43 pounds of marijuana countrywide. We've managed to seize 202 rounds of ammunition. We've also managed to seize 6 firearms, arrested 19 immigrants, 6 of which were female. We've also searched 2,864 vehicles, where 184 were issued citations. 1 person was arrested for bribery in Orange Walk, and we also managed to seize, in San Pedro, a .223 rifle, along with 22 rounds of .223 ammunitions, ten .45 ammunition, and 7.380 round of ammunition. 1 individual was also intercepted with a satellite radio, along with a large amount of cash for which he was dealt with by income tax and so forth."

All persons who have been criminally charged will be arraigned at the earliest convenience.
