28 year old Justo Roches and his common-law wife, 27 year old Yaritza Delrisco are at the Belize Central Prison tonight after they were allegedly caught with over a kilo of cocaine and a loaded firearm yesterday.
Members of the Gang Suppression Unit visited their home on Brown Street yesterday to conduct a raid. Delrisco was at home at the time, and when the cops searched their bed room they found 1.105 kilos of a substance they suspect to be cocaine. They also searched another room and that's when they found a black 9mm pistol which was loaded with 14 rounds of ammunition.
Shortly after the items were found Justo Roches arrived home and informed the police that he also lives at this house. Both were arrested and charged with drug trafficking, keeping an unlicensed firearm, and keeping unlicensed ammunition.
They were arraigned today before Magistrate Deborah Rogers, and they pleaded not guilty to the charges. Due to the nature of the offence, they were remanded into custody until July 26.
