You might remember that brazen incident back in February where Assistant Superintendent Selwyn Tillett, the commanding officer for Orange Walk Police, was
car jacked in Benque Viejo.
His son-in-law's white 2014 Mazda pick up truck was stolen by armed bandits and a few days later, it was found abandoned in Guatemala, in an area known
as Camalote, 10 miles away from Melchor. Well, Foreign Affairs Diplomat Said Guerra had been hard at work trying to get it back, and today, that effort
paid off.
The Guatemalan authorities finally handed the vehicle over after the paper work was finalized, and the Belmopan police took custody of it. But, in a neat
kind of informal confidence building Belize police also handed over a van that had been stolen from Guatemala and recovered in Belize. All this was done
without any diplomatic agreement, just a cross border quid pro quo.
