Caye Caulker Gun Mystery: Woman Vanishes with Businessman’s Glock

Now here’s a story that’s got a bit of mystery and a whole lot of questions. A licensed firearm has vanished from a Caye Caulker residence and police believe it may have walked off with a woman who spent the night there. According to ACP Hilberto Romero, the gun, a nine-millimeter Glock, belonged to seventy-three-year-old Dennis Gelinas, a local business owner. He says he was with a female acquaintance named Azmin early Sunday morning, and after they both fell asleep, he woke up to find her, and his firearm, gone. The pistol, along with a magazine loaded with six live rounds, was reportedly tucked into his pants pocket. Police searched the home but came up empty-handed. What they did find out, though, is that the woman caught the 10:30 a.m. boat to Belize City and now, she’s being actively sought by investigators.
