COMPOL Williams visits Christian Gusenbauer
In recent months, there has been an increase in the number of piracy incidents and both the Police and Coast Guard have become more active in their efforts to diminish the attacks. Commissioner of Police Chester Williams commented on these occurrences, explaining that it seems to be three groups working within southern Belize to carry out these crimes. Some persons known to police have been arrested for fisheries offenses as well as being members of gangs. He further stated that two of the groups seem to specifically operate between the Stann Creek District and Honduras.
