Over the past few weeks we've been reporting on the ongoing shootings in the Corozal districts - often involving high powered military grade assault rifles.

Well, today police may have taken some of that firepower out of circulation when they found an AK47 with a magazine containing 17 live rounds on a farm in the Xaibe village. No one was within the area at the time, and so it was sealed labelled and deposited as found property.

Our sources say the weapon is actually an AK 56.
