Two unlicensed guns along with ammunition were found in a Corozal hotel room leading to the arrest of three men.
Just after midnight on TUESDAY, Police stopped three men who were walking down 6th Avenue in Corozal Town. One of the men was Emmanuel WILLOUGHBY who is wanted in connection with an Aggravated Burglary in Crooked Tree Village.
All three men were searched, and nothing was found except a hotel room key. So, the 22 year old unemployed Belize City resident was taken with his friends to the hotel room at City Light Guest House. The police conducted a thorough search, even looking in the ceiling, and their labor was rewarded when they uncovered a seriously dangerous prohibited firearm: a .357 magnum revolver loaded with (6) live rounds, and (1) Glock 19 9mm Pistol, with (1) magazine containing (14) live rounds. The police arrested and charged Willoughby along with JAKE CADLE, a 22 year old bartender; ERNEST TILLETT, a 25 year old laborer, both of Orange Walk Town, with "KEPT FIREARM without a gun license"; "KEPT AMMUNITION without a gun license"; "Kept PROHIBITED FIREARM"; and "KEPT PROHIBITED AMMUNITION."
