CrimeStoeger pistol found by police in Corozal

A 9mm Stoeger pistol loaded with 10 live rounds has been found and confiscated by police.

Corozal police said that at about 5:20 Saturday evening, they were on an anti-drug patrol in the Santa Rita area in Corozal when they went to an open lot where they conducted random searches to find drugs, guns or ammunition. This led to the discovery of the Stoeger Couger 800F pistol with the serial number T6429-08.

The pistol had an extended magazine containing 10 live rounds.

At the time when the gun was found, no one was in the area, so the weapon was taken to the Corozal Police Station and labeled as found property.
