S.P.U. Recover Guns During Backatown Raid

An operation carried out by elements of the Special Patrol Unit has led to the recovery of a pair of firearms, matching ammunition and a quantity of retail cannabis. S.P.U. personnel descended on a property on Hondo Street, in the Backatown area of Belize City where they conducted a search of the residence.  That operation yielded two black, nine millimeter pistols, two loaded cartridges, as well as eighteen nine millimeter rounds.  News Five understands that two persons have been arrested in connection with the discovery.  We are also reliably informed that the pair will be arraigned in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, January 3rd 2023.
