posted (August 10, 2018)
Frank Smith is the man who police say invaded a Cuban Nurse's apartment on the Northside of Belize City on Tuesday.

The 34 year old is charged with aggravated burglary for that apartment invasion where he also punched the resident, Rosa Aurora Unas Zorilla and stole items to a total of five thousand dollars.

From there, he allegedly broke into two more apartments, and for that he was charged with two counts of burglary.

This evening, Smith was unrepresented before Magistrate Emmerson Banner and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Due to the nature of the offense, he was denied bail and remanded into custody at the Belize Central Prison until October 17, 2018.

The Cuban Nurse, Rosa Zorilla told police she was expecting her boyfriend, when she heard a knock on her apartment door. She opened the door and two men with bandanas on their faces - and one of them with a gun barged into her apartment.

Police are still looking for the other suspect.
