Police: Sheila McCaffrey Wanted
posted (October 1, 2010)
Belize Natural Energy has been under sustained attack on talk shows and the public discourse, but the company is having its own internal war. There have been numerous reports in the international press about differences between shareholders in Ireland. And on the ground in Belize, the once prominent co-founder of BNE, Sheila McCaffrey had receded into the background for the past two years. She recently returned and was prominent at the arrival of NBA Star Chris Birdman Andersen last week.

And that's why we found it highly curious yesterday evening when police sent out a report saying that McCaffrey is wanted for the theft of nineteen thousand dollars, from BNE!

The report was made by Jane LONGSWORTH Finance and Accounting Manager for BNE who stated that over two years ago, in September of 2008, McCaffrey made unauthorized payments of $19,096.00 in 21 checques to different businesses in Placencia. All the cheques were recovered and like we said, it happened over two years ago. So why the complaint now? Well, it seems there's a major internal rift in the oil company and the best we could find out was that the parent company is fighting the local company for control.

According to the official report, Police are looking for Sheila McCaffery pending investigation. We were unable to reach a BNE spokesperson for comment.
