Authorities in Belize City have formally charged 24-year-old local fisherman Kyle Cadle with multiple weapons offenses after a Monday morning police patrol resulted in the discovery of an unlicensed firearm. The incident unfolded when officers on routine motorcycle patrol along Riverside Street observed Cadle approaching on a black beach cruiser bicycle. According to official police reports, the suspect abruptly altered his course and attempted to flee into a neighboring property upon noticing the law enforcement presence. Officers immediately pursued the individual and witnessed him discarding a suspicious object in proximity to a zinc fence during the evasion attempt. A subsequent systematic search of the vicinity yielded a black semi-automatic pistol equipped with a loaded magazine containing eight 9mm rounds of live ammunition. Cadle now faces serious criminal charges including possession of an unlicensed firearm and illegal possession of ammunition, violations that carry significant penalties under Belizean law. The Belize Police Department has emphasized the importance of such patrol operations in removing illegal weapons from community circulation and maintaining public safety.
