Just after midday today in Belize City an elderly man was robbed of a large amount of money. It happened on Landivar Street in the King’s Park area. Harold Williams had just come from Scotia Bank on the Phillip Goldson highway - and, it appears he was being watched by robbers.
As he rolled into his driveway, the robber slid into the yard, and pounced on him. His wife asked to appear off camera and told us what happened next:..

"I heard the gate open. When I heard the gate open I said, 'okay, he is back.' And then I heard a bang. When I came down the guys from the cable company, I wouldn't recognize them, they said, 'call the police! call the police!' and when I looked I saw my husband came out and he said he has been robbed. When I looked I saw everything down there. He said what happened is that the person obviously came in when he drove in and they broke the window for the driver's side and they reached over him and they got the money and that is it."

"Well, right now I am still trembling inside and his pressure is sky high. So, I'll just see how that works out and if I have to take him to the doctor later then I'll do that."

"When something like this happens you don't feel safe in your own home."

"Well, that is true because now, you know, whosoever it was we may be a target."
