Two charged in city jacking

Police have charged two Belize City men in connection with a jacking last month. Seventeen year-old Raymond Heusner and twenty-two year old Elliot Heusner, both of Tigris Street, are charged with the robbery of seventeen-year-old Jevon McKenzie. McKenzie told police that around eight on the night of Friday, January seventeenth, he was about to enter a friend’s yard on Blue Marlin Drive in Coral Groves when four men got out of a brown car and tried to force him to get into it. He struggled to get away, but in the process, his assailants made off with his gold chain and medal, a cell phone, and wallet containing thirty dollars. The Heusner brothers appeared before Magistrate Emerita Ascoli on Thursday, and both met bail of two thousand, five hundred dollars plus one surety of the same amount. They are to reappear in court on March thirteenth.
