More guns found on northern caye

Story PictureMore heavy duty firepower has been found on a northern caye. Police say an operation on Thursday at an island about a mile north of Deer Caye resulted in the discovery of an AK47, an AR15 rifle, an UZI machine gun, assorted ammunition, as well as fuel and a radio antennae. It is believed that the items were left for the use of drug traffickers on their way from Colombia to Mexico. At the beginning of April a joint B.D.F./Coast guard search located thirty-four automatic and semi-automatic firearms on Deer Caye, which lies in the lagoon behind Ambergris Caye. On both occasions no one was found at the scene and no arrests were made.
