Car recovered, but not robbery suspects

While police have not been able to make an arrest in the Friday the thirteenth jacking on Coney Drive, they have recovered the car used in the robbery. The blue Mitsubishi Galant was found abandoned on Dickenson Street in the Yarborough area of Belize City. Police continue to search for the two robbers who wrestled with Matea Hoare and fired shots in an unsuccessful attempt to steal the fourteen thousand dollar payroll belonging to Matea’s husband’s construction company. The struggle ended with Matea’s assistant being shot in the foot and the thieves escaping with only two thousand dollars. As if Matea Hoare didn’t have enough trouble on the thirteenth, her Coney Drive home was invaded by a would-be burglar exactly one week later. Police say Hoare was washing in her laundry room situated in her backyard around 9:00 a.m. when she was alerted by a noise inside her house. Upon checking, she found thirty-year old Morrington Myvett, a labourer of Central American Boulevard, wandering around. Hoare managed to restrain the intruder and called the police. Myvett was arraigned on a charge of burglary in Magistrate’s Court on Friday. He has been remanded until August fourteenth.
