Single Mother Appeals for Help After Attempted Break-In

A single mother of four is seeking assistance and raising awareness after a scary attempted break-in at her home in Belize City early this morning.

The incident occurred at approximately 3:54 a.m., as captured by the family’s security camera. The footage shows a hooded man entering the yard and attempting to force his way inside. Speaking with News Five, the mother, whose identity is being withheld for safety reasons, described the terrifying moments as she realised someone was trying to break into her home.

“He came to my back door first and tried to get in. Then he went to the front window, but I have burglar bars. Finally, he tried to manage the front door,” she said.

According to the mother, when he heard noises, she “got up and turned on my light.” She believes this scared off the man.

She said the experience has left her and her children shaken.

“It’s only me and my kids living here,” she said. “I already got threats, so I try to protect my kids.”

The police are being informed of the incident.
