A trio of teenagers from Belize City has been accused of entering the home of Hattieville resident Dyann Garnett and cleaning out eleven thousand, one hundred and twenty dollars in household items. The burglary which occurred on March seventeenth included the theft of Garnett’s clothing, groceries, electrical appliances, cell phones, digital cameras and an assortment of jewelry. This morning before Magistrate Sharon Frazer, two seventeen year olds along with eighteen-year-old Keith Lewis were each charged with one count of burglary. They were offered bail in the sum of six thousand dollars plus two sureties of three thousand dollars which they met by noon. The accused men are due back in court in May of this year.
Being burglarized is an inexcusable offense. I was a victim of burglary in the Cayo District and the feeling of being violated and raped and to even think that a “stranger” would disrupt your place of sanctuary – its a feeling not even words can explain. The thieves had a clean get away with almost $20,000.00 in broad daylight. Police came after many hours to take pictures and up to now there have been no arrests. So much was taken away from my family and I that day – so much of our hard earned sweat that would never be returned to us. I thank God however, that when these items were stolen he spoke to me almost instantly. He said “You WILL get back what the enemy has stolen 3 times folds from you”. He was right! I did and God has been wonderful. Whenever you are burglarized its a personal thing between you and God. Therefore, I do encourage everyone to put your trust in God and NOT man – they will forever fail you. I sympathize with Ms. Garnett for her loss, however, I am looking forward to the three offenders be charged with this crime to the fullest extent!
i think it is sad when the children, the ones we are set out to protect are the ones doing the crimes. we have no one else to blame but ourselves. we are th one responsible for the guidance of these you minds .
so sad…
