Accused gun thief arrested and charged
A man detained last week in connection with the discovery of five illegal guns has been arrested and charged. Thirty-year-old Ewert Roberts Junior of Belmopan has been charged with four counts of keeping an unlicensed firearm, three counts of unlicensed ammunition, and one count of possession of a prohibited firearm. Four of the guns, along with the ammunition, were stolen last Wednesday from the Belize City office of Anchor Security, while the prohibited weapon, a sawed off sixteen gauge shotgun, was believed to have been used in the commission of the crime.
