On Tuesday's news, we told you about the Police Constable, Franklin Ramirez, and his 3 passengers who were intercepted by the Mobile Interdiction Team in Ontario Village. They were busted with a gun police believed was smuggled in from Guatemala, but tonight, they are out on bail.
Their attorneys, Oscar Selgado and Herbert Panton, applied for Supreme Court bail, and Justice Herbert Lord granted them an audience today. After hearing from both sides, Justice Lord granted them bail of $6,000, with the conditions that they must report to the Raccoon Street Police Station every Friday, attend all adjournments of the case against them, and that they do not interfere with the prosecution's witnesses.
They must return to the Belmopan Supreme Court on November 9.
As we told you, the MIT intercepted a white Ford Explorer on Monday night in Ontario Village, Cayo. The police say that they were heading in the direction of Belmopan and Constable Ramirez was driving the vehicle, with his passengers were Trevor Dean Brown, Elorey Graham, and a 17 year-old minor.
The cops searched the vehicle and found nothing, but they had sound intelligence, so they escorted the vehicle and its occupants to their headquarters in Belmopan at the Police Training Academy. There, the MIT officers conducted another search, and found a hidden compartment under the dashboard. Inside that compartment, was a 9mm Berretta pistol and 3 magazines. As you can see here, the gun is engraved with the symbols "GUA".
