Canadian man Captured While Attempting to Cross into Belize

On Sunday, a Canadian national found himself in hot water after allegedly trying to paddle a stolen boat into Belize. The arrest came after a dramatic water chase through Chetumal Bay, following reports that the man had swiped a local fisherman’s boat from a wharf. Authorities quickly sprang into action, chasing the suspect across open water. A video from the scene shows navy personnel pulling the man out of the water after he jumped in, trying to escape. He was handed over to local police and taken to a jail in Chetumal. The suspect’s identity and his reasons for attempting to enter Belize remain a mystery for now.
