Soldier on the Run Following Lost and Found Weapon

A Belize Defense Force soldier remains on the run after he was found to have been responsible for taking an M4 Commando rifle from Camp Belizario in Cayo last August. In that incident, several persons were confined at Price Barracks. The weapon was later recovered in Belize City and one soldier was found to be the culprit, but he has been on the run ever since the incident, as Brigadier General Azariel Loria told us.

“That one we have recovered it. We recovered that weapon and we had the ruling. We’ve sent our recommendation to the Security Services Commission and they agreed. But the person right now, he’s on the run. He escaped.”
