And while that is one more assault rifle on the streets - our next story is about a deadly weapon taken off the streets - or, as the case may be, the beach.
At 11:00 this morning police were doing operations on northern Ambergris Caye in the area commonly used by "playadores" or beachcombers - these are the low level gang operators who scour the sea and beach for wet drops.
The police saw a cloth bag stuffed under some grass. They opened it and saw an assault rifle - described as a.223 rifle - but this one is an M-16
It also contained one magazine with 23 live 5.56 rounds.
