A police corporal in the Cayo formation has been brought up on disciplinary charges for “losing” a gun that ended up in Orange Walk - in the hands of a man now wanted by police.  

We told you about the gun on Monday.  On Saturday morning at 3:30, Orange Walk police saw a man acting suspiciously and went to search him.  He threw a 38 revolver away, and then escaped from police.

When police checked the serial number it turns out to have been a revolver assigned to the Cayo formation.  The corporal who it was assigned to has been charged internally for prejudice to good order and losing the weapon.

Orange Walk Police have the weapon but still have not found the man who was carrying it after he escaped from them.
