Sawed-off shotgun confiscated in Roaring Creek

And in Belmopan, police may have prevented a future violent crime when they confiscated a prohibited firearm and detained its owner. On Sunday morning, a police patrol in Roaring Creek saw a man run after he noticed their vehicle. He was then observed throwing a white bag into a yard. Police caught up with him, returned to the yard, and discovered that the bag contained a sawed-off twelve gauge shotgun. The gun’s serial number matched that of a full-length weapon stolen from a farmer in More Tomorrow Village. The suspect is expected to be charged with possession of a prohibited firearm and handling stolen goods.
