S.O.E. Captures Almost Ninety-four Suspected Gang Members

The state of emergency that came into effect on Tuesday morning saw the rounding up of almost a hundred men, believed to be gang members, from various communities in Belize City, Cotton Tree and Roaring Creek.  Earlier today, they were trooped to the Belize Central Prison where they will remain under lockdown for the next thirty days.  But, with such a significant number, did the Belize Police Department’s dragnet capture everyone they wanted under the latest S.O.E.?

“The police continue to be in search of a number of persons who are on the list and have not yet been located.  We are doing our best to be able to locate those individuals.  The press office will be issuing those wanted posters, hopefully by the end of day today where we will be seeking the public’s assistance in locating them.”
