Hattieville Police Need A Ride
posted (January 7, 2014)
On Friday we told you about Robert Robinson, the senior restaurant owner in Hattieville who turned away robbers - even after one of them chopped him. The suspects are believed to be form the area, but no one has been detained by Hattieville police. Yesterday we asked the officer in charge of Belize Rural is the lag in arrests has anything to do with a shortage of transport for police:..

Supt. Chris Noble, O/C Ladyville
"It was an attempt and they did injured him. The person is known to him and we will continue to look into the information and see we make an arrest."

Jules Vasquez
"Is it true that the Hattieville Police Station has no vehicle right now?"

Supt. Chris Noble, O/C Ladyville
"We are transport deficient in all aspects when it comes to our organization and we definitely have transport to move back and forth when it comes to any area when it comes to policing."

Jules Vasquez
"He said they took 20 minutes to respond to his report which is roughly a mile from the Police Station."

Supt. Chris Noble, O/C Ladyville
"Which would be reasonable ot not, but the police officers there will have to be the persons to answer and I did not know of the timeline, but I will look into it."

Jules Vasquez
"However that timeline would be consistent with the type of transport deficiency you discussed?"

Supt. Chris Noble, O/C Ladyville
"The transport that is there."

Jules Vasquez
"Which is a motor bike?"

Supt. Chris Noble, O/C Ladyville
"Several."

Jules Vasquez
"Fair enough."
