Thirty-five Stores Ticketed in Caye Caulker and San Pedro

As many as thirty-five businesses in San Pedro and Caye Caulker have been ticketed by the Supplies Control Unit for violating the Supplies Control (Prices) Regulations, as it pertains to the sale of various items.  During a third round of establishment inspections carried out earlier this month, the unit ticketed stores across the island town, including nine on Laguna Drive alone.  Caye Value Store, Tan’s Mart, Best Price Store and K Mart are among several establishments that were fined for offering for sale above control price for control good, or for failing to display price for control good.  In Caye Caulker, several stores were also ticketed, including China Town Supermarket and Sunrise Shopping Center.  The Supplies Control Unit says it will continue to engage local authorities such as the Belize Police Department, San Pedro Town Council and Caye Caulker Village Council to identify and address violations of the Supplies Control Regulations.
