Authorities are seriously concerned over the recent assessment of what has been classified as a remote controlled explosive device. That device, though not fully assembled, was reportedly handed over to Corozal Police sometime late last week. The device was then taken to the Belize Defense Force on Saturday night for analysis. Today, Brigadier General David Jones, Commandant of the Belize Defence Force, told us this was the first time he has seen such a set up in Belize and this is reason for grave concern.

“It was the construction of what looked like an improvised explosive device or what you would call a bomb. What was missing was the explosive so they had a cellphone, they had a sensor and they had a capacitor, three things that could be used in a remote controlled bomb but they didn’t have the explosive in it but it was well constructed and the person knew what he was doing and probably did some research to get it constructed but it’s a difference in sophistication from what we have seen before with other things that have been constructed.”
