Duun Street Home Invasion At Candy House
posted (May 23, 2017)
A Belize City family continues to recover from a brutal home invasion in which gunmen stormed into their homes, and robbed them of thousands of dollars' worth of jewelry.

It happened at Michael Acosta's Dunn Street home on Friday evening, sometime around 6 p.m., when he was at home with his common-law wife and their 2-year-old son.

2 men visited pretending to be interested in buying ice cream. Seen here, the family sells a number of treats under the name, "KY Kandy Krush". Thinking that the men were legitimate customers, Acosta opened the door to serve them, and that's when one of them pointed a gun at him. That assailant immediately kicked him and started to assault him, injuring his nose and mouth. The gunman kept the couple subdued and his accomplice then ransacked the place and stole jewellery from the common-law wife to the total value of just over 16,000 dollars.

The men then rode off, and Michael Acosta had to go to the KHMH to be treated for the savage beating inflicted on him.
