Caye Crooks Hold Up Resort
posted (April 2, 2019)
Two tourists and the watchman were held up at a resort on the north end of Ambergris Caye early this morning. It happened at Sapphire Beach Resort around 1:30 am, where four hispanic men first held up the security guard, Uwanie Augustine. They blindfolded him and took the keys to the resort. They then entered a room where two Canadians were guests. They were tied up and the men went through their belongings searching for cash. They left -stealing a motorbike and a golf cart, along with some cash.

Both the golf cart and the motorcycle were found later in the morning abandoned along with some clothes. And while it may suggest some type of organized crime, police suspect that it was just a group of outlaws stranded on the north end after the last boat left.
