Stann Creek couple arrested for prohibited weapon

Rounding out the weekend crime are reports that a Bella Vista couple have been charged for Keeping a Prohibited Firearm and Unlicensed Ammunition. On Friday, police say that when they searched a pickup truck at an Independence checkpoint, they found eight rounds of point three-five-seven ammunition hidden under the driver’s seat. Cops immediately arrested the driver, fifty-three year old Enrique Godoy, and his companion, thirty-seven year old Sandra Orellana. A subsequent search of Godoy’s home in Bella Vista Village turned up a Smith and Wesson three-five-seven magnum revolver and two Remington point forty-four bullets. As a result, both Godoy and Orellana have been charged with Keeping Unlicensed Ammunition and Possession of a Prohibited Firearm.
