Earlier in the news, we told you about the grenade which detonated in San Pedro on Saturday night. While this the first grenade to have actually detonated in Belize in years, but it's the 4th explosive device that police have come across this month.
So, are the criminal elements escalating their means of warfare? That's what the media asked the Acting Commissioner today, and here's how he responded:
Deputy ComPol Noel Leal, Acting Commissioner of Police
"From the Corozal and the Vernon Street one, I have not had any information to indicate that it is the criminal underworld. I am not sure yet about the one in San Pedro, but as the investigation proceeds it will tell us who or why there was an explosive at that house and what was the intention. But as far as I am concern up to this time I have gotten no information to indicate that there was anything from the criminal underworld ramping up or stepping up."
"As the General rightly pointed out it may have fall in the wrong hands and I can only beg you all and the community to assist us with any kind of information so that we can get them off the streets or wherever they are."
