For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ It made headlines in 2012 when alleged George Street gang figure, Brian Brown, was the target of a raid by the Gang Suppression Unit at a residence identified as his on Jimmy Dyer Avenue in the Fabers Road section of Port Loyola. But in court today, forty year old Brown was cleared of a total of eight charges – multiple counts of drug possession and possession of an unregistered bullet proof vest under the Firearms Act, for the items found at that premises. Brown insisted from day one that he was not at the premises during the search and that it was never in his control or ownership. The Magistrate hearing the case was sufficiently convinced to drop all charges. It brings to an end a four-year journey for Brown, as correspondent Aaron Humes reports.
