Tonight, police are in possession of a cache of high-powered weapons which may be connected to one of the biggest gangs in Belize City.
The Mobile Interdiction Team received intelligence yesterday that the weapons were being stashed in Hattieville Village. So, they teamed up with the K-9 Unit to conduct a huge sweep of the area. They started at around 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and about 6 hours later they found 4 guns in an abandoned lot on the Dalla Bank Road. The stash includes two AK 47 assault rifles with the serial numbers filed off, two AK 47 magazines. Additionally, they found a 9 millimeter pistol with a magazine which was loaded with twelve live rounds. And they also found a.38 special revolver with the serial number filed off. It was loaded with 9 live rounds.
No one was in the area, and the items were deposited as found property, but police have linked the weapons to members of the George Street Gang. Information also suggests that police may have worked out a trade off with some big name gangsters to find the stash.
