By BBN Staff: The Ministry of National Security issued a statement today extending condolences to the family of the five murder victims in the Swallow Caye area.

The Ministry further advised the public to stay away from any strange packages found floating at sea and to report any such sighting to the nearest police station or Coast Guard base.

“Do not attempt to retrieve or take possession of any such packages,” the Ministry warns.

The Ministry says that it is confident that these types of incidences do not signify a decrease in the general safety and security of citizens.
