Burglary Forces Couple to Abandon Plans of Settling in Sarteneja

A couple planning to relocate to Sarteneja Village, Corozal, has been forced to reconsider their future after their home was broken into and essential equipment stolen.

The homeowner said that their solar panels, batteries, water pump, and filtration system were stolen during the break-in.

What made the situation worse, they said, was that the caretaker they hired to watch over the property never informed them of the incident. “The person we hired to watch our house didn’t tell us about the break-in. It was the solar company that told us when they came to do maintenance,” he said.

The couple had just reached the point where they could begin moving their belongings and making Sarteneja their permanent home. However, in light of the burglary, they have now made the difficult decision to put the property on the market. The couple is in communication with Corozal Police.

In the comments section, one person said he experienced a similar incident. The person added, “I had to fight the guy off in my house. He came in with a machete.”
