Tonight, 21 year-old Akeem Requena, and 19 year-old David Mas are at the Belize Central Prison after a gun was reportedly seized from them last night by members of the Gang Suppression Unit.
According to the Gang Suppression Unit, a team of officers were on patrol on Gibnut Street when they saw Requena and Mas walking and acting suspicious when they saw that police were in the area. The officers decided to search both men, and that's when the officers found parts of a rusty shotgun was found on both of them.
They were both arrested and charged with firearm offences, and they were arraigned today before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer. They pleaded not guilty, but due to the nature of the offences, they could not be granted bail, and they were remanded to the Belize Central Prison until March 18.
