Priceless jade necklace stolen from Toledo museum

The theft of Belize’s archaeological treasures is nothing new, but the incident that occurred over the weekend took place not at a Mayan temple, but rather a Toledo museum. On Sunday police visited the Museum at the Lubaantun Archaeology site in San Pedro, Columbia where they found that a burglar bar had been pried open and three glass louvers removed from a window. Inside the museum, a glass showcase had been smashed and two jade necklaces were missing. According to village caretaker, Caterino Kaal, the burglary occurred between five-ten p.m. on Saturday and six fifty-five a.m. on Sunday. The value of the necklaces is unknown.
