This morning the Gang Supression Unit made multiple arrests at a Curassow Street address in Belize City.

Between 8:40 a.m. and 12.00 p.m. a search was conducted at the Parham's yard which consists of 3 houses and three shacks. The first arrest was Kenroy Parham, an unemployed 23 year old man. He was sitting in front of his house when he was searched by the police, and a loaded black 9 mm Sig Sauer Brand pistol without serial number was found in the waist of his pants. The gun was loaded with 9 rounds of 9 mm ammunition, and as a result, Parham was arrested and charged with Kept Unlicensed Firearm and Ammunition.

But the arrests did not stop there. While Parham was being searched, a 16 year old female minor was spotted inside one of the shacks. When the police approached her, she ran, throwing a black plastic bag through the window. The bag contained 78 grams, a little over two and a half ounces of marijuana. She was charged with drug trafficking.

Then in another one of the Parham houses, another female minor was found, this time a 14 year old girl. She was found in a bedroom with one of the adult male Parhams, and, when spoken to, alleged carnal knowledge. She was handed over to the Crimes Investigation Branch Sexual Offence Section for further investigation. As for Parham, the 31 year old suspect has been detained pending charges of "Carnal knowledge of a girl".
