Hard times cause woman to steal from grocery store
jade lopez
They say desperate times call for desperate measures; that must have been the case when four women decided to steal food from the Ladyville Community Store at mile nine on the Northern Highway. Fermina Jimenez, Jade Lopez, Marina Pott and Augustina Diaz were all caught on surveillance camera on July twenty-ninth, but today in court, only Lopez pleaded guilty to the charge of Theft. Lopez told the court that she stole the groceries because she had no money. But that was not the best solution since the food items, valued at two hundred and fourteen dollars, now cost her one thousand dollars. Lopez has until October twenty-ninth to pay the fine or she will spend a year in prison. Meanwhile, the other three women were freed of the charge. The women were caught in a Toyota car along with Israel Hernandez, a farmer, who was charged with Handling Stolen Goods. Hernandez is now out on bail of two thousand five hundred dollars.
This woman is not a very bright criminal. Didn’t she realize that you have to commit murder to avoid jail time? Robbing because you are hungry is a sure path to incarceration, Dickie Bradley won’t help you now m’am.
Too me its bad what these people are doing .its detrimental to their personality. However it also proves what i always seems true. If you steal or theif a hundred dollars or less people wa call u theif and de wa sen u 2 jail but if u tek millions and millions de wa call u right hon prime minista. Or minista of somethin and u no goin a jail. Ask rt hon esquivel . Rt hon. Musa . Rt hon . Barrow . Rt hon courtney . Etc.
Stop punish people from petty offences and for the big fishes. Charge all then area reprensentatives and then white collars ministers with money laundering theft, etc. And its a pity that these ladies didnt hired the law firm of the prime minister. Other wise most definately they would have been freed.
Fry jack, tortilla, johnny cake, powder bun, stew beans & rice, plantain are more filling than the dutch cheese & stuff that she & the other people who were with her stole. She does not look underfed & if the driver of the truck can afford gas, they had enough money to buy some food staples & put their lazy behinds in the kitchen.
These ladies are from my constituency and are lazy. They have been caught a number of times shoplifting in many different stores both in Belize and Chetumal in Mexico. That is part of their trade and should be penalized to the maximum according to the law. The court should request for a history of past charges and should charged and fined them accordingly.
she could have sold her earings or something else to get cash or even go wash some clothes for some dinero….or go reap oranges south. its a shame
These ladies are well known shoplifters….thats how they make a living! They have been caught by many stores in Orange Walk doing what they do best!
Hard Times did not “cause woman to steal from grocery store”
No guidance and ignorance “cause woman to steal from grocery store”
Starry…maybe you should volunteer that info to the police….its your obligation as a responsible citizen of our country..

THIS PEOPLE ARE FROM GUINEA GRASS VILLAGE THEY HAVE THERE PHD AS SHOPLIFTERS PEOPLE OUT THERE SHOULD BE ON THE ALERT WHEN THEY COME IN YOUR BUSINESS PLACE THEY ARE LIKE 4 OR FIVE MINIMUM. THEY ARE KNOWN AS “LOLASGANGSTERS” PLEASE BE ON THE ALERT ALL BUSINESS AREAS. ANY DRIVER OR PERSONS CAUGHT ALONG WITH THEM ARE IN THE SAME FAMILY OF GANGSTERS. IS SAD BUT THERE ARE WOMEN IN GUINEA GRASS THAT WORK , FEED THERE CHILDREN DO ANY KIND OF HONEST WORK BUT THIS FAMILY THEY DEDICATE THEMSELVES ONLY TO STEAL. IN GUINEA GRASS THEY CANNOT GET CREDIT NOR ANY HELP BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THEY DO STEAL!!1
Maybe those ladies wanted to join all the others in prison to have a good life. After all we do have the best prison right. lol
Only poor people go to jail in Belize. What she did is not right,but jail the ones who are stealing millions.Maybe she should have sell some …..
@ BZNinCALI hahahahahahaha ditto!
Bad behavior trickles down!!!!! If the top is stealing why not the citizens……..Too bad for her she cannot afford to buy her way out of jail like the rest of the thieves, there are plenty in Ladyville that can school her.
this ah lone bs, she is too young and looks healthy enough to find herself a job, dah lazy do them, at the end of the day it all look bad on her
