Earlier this week, you saw Roy Bennett complain about GSU harassment. Well, today the GSU sent out a release saying they searched an empty lot adjacent to his home on Gill Street where they found a very hot black Taurus 9mm pistol loaded with a magazine containing 10 live rounds.

A black plastic bag was also found next to the pistol containing fifteen live 9mm rounds.

No one was in the area and it was labeled as "Found Property". According to police, the firearm found is believed to have been placed at the area by one of the key members of the Gill Street Gang. An investigation was conducted where it was discovered that the firearm is a service firearm and is part of the Belize Police Department, Belize City inventory.

Additional information indicates that the firearm was recently used in a murder incident that occurred in the area. Investigations continue.

And on Tuesday afternoon GSU officers conducted another search in an open lot located on Justice Street in Belize City. The search led to the discovery of a black plastic bag containing a blue rag. Wrapped up inside the rag was a silver.38 Special Revolver Smith and Wesson brand, loaded with 5.38 special rounds. No one was in the area at the time so the firearm and ammunition were labeled as "Found Property". Investigations have revealed that the .38 revolver is the property of a US Citizen who resides in the Corozal District who reported it stolen. Further investigations continue.
