Police Intercept Fisherman with Unlicensed Firearm

A Belize City fisherman is in police custody tonight after what investigators say was a failed attempt to dump an illegal gun. Police report that just before ten o’clock on Monday morning, officers on motorcycle patrol along Riverside Street spotted twenty‑four‑year‑old Kyle Cadle riding a bicycle. When he noticed the patrol, they say Cadle suddenly changed direction and took off into a nearby yard. Officers gave chase and claimed they saw him toss an object near a zinc fence. A search turned up a firearm with a magazine loaded with eight nine‑millimeter rounds. Cadle was later arrested and charged with keeping a firearm and ammunition without a license.
