posted (April 24, 2014)

Police from Precinct 2 in Belize City are under pressure – with three murders in as many weeks. Â But on Tuesday, acting on intelligence, their Quick Response Team came up with 31 live rounds of ammunition. Â 

At around 8 that night, the team searched an abandoned house on Croton Lane in the Lake Independence Area, and found a black plastic bag inside an old refrigerator.   15 live rounds .223 SD brand ammunition, 3 blank 5.56 Libai rounds, 2 live round of 5.56 ammo, 10 live 7.62 rounds, and 1 M16 rifle magazine were inside the bag. Most of this ammunition is used in high-powered assault rifles. Â No one was in the area, so the items were deposited as found property.
