Lionel Bregal, the man Ladyville police is accusing of participating in the burglary in which 390 thousand dollars' worth of jewelry was stolen, is out on bail tonight after being arraigned today.
As we told you, police suspect his involvement in a jewelry heist at the Roe family house off the Airport Road in Ladyville.
But today, Bregal was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith on the charge of handling stolen goods. As we told you, police suspected him of being involved because officers found a Rolex watch case at his Belize City house - and it was traced back to the Roe family house.
He pleaded not guilty to the charge and was offered bail of $500, but before he could meet bail, he had to settle outstanding court fines of $1,500 for past criminal convictions.
He and his family were able to pay up on those fines, and he was allowed to leave court this morning. He must return on February 2, 2015.
