Police have provided updates in connection with burglaries that occurred last week. In Roaring Creek, it was a group of five men who invaded the home of a husband and wife in the village and stole a number of electrical and household items, along with their Toyota Hilux pick-up. When neighbors realized what was taking place, they called the police. All the men, except for one, escaped. Police found the pick-up abandoned a short while later in the village. Police Communications Director, ASP Fitzroy Yearwood also shared the details of the robbery on Racecourse Street in Belize City as well as gave an update on an incident in Benque.
