15 Horses Stolen from Ranch in Ladyville

The Belize Police Department is also looking into another horse-related incident. Joshua Trapp, a forty-four-year-old tour guide from Ladyville, reported that fifteen of his horses went missing from his ranch on Wednesday. He managed to find eight of them, and searches continued throughout the day for the remaining seven. There were rumors that the injured horse in Belize City might be one of Trapp’s stolen horses. However, Commissioner of Police Chester Williams and Oney’s owner have confirmed that this is not true.

“We know that police are also investigating the other horse incident with Mr. Trapp. He believes that the horse that was chopped is one of his that was stolen long ago.”

 

Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police

“No, we have confirmed this horse belongs to a person who lives in the Fabers Road area. We have contacted that person. I am happy to see that BAHA came in and provide treatment to the horse. I saw a video footages on social media where it depicts the horses were already being eaten by these dead flies and I am hoping they can continue the treatment until they make a full recovery.”
