And turning now to crimes perpetrated against foreigners, we go first to Cristo Rey village where a Canadian couple was the victim of a scary home invasion. Here's what police told us:
ACP Joseph Myvette- Head of NCIB
"On Friday night, sometime after 8 pm, San Ignacio police was called to an area known as Monkey Falls on the Cristo Rey Road to the home of Evan Anderson, 38 year's Canadian, who reported to police that sometime around 8 pm when himself and his common law wife were getting ready to close their home to go and sleep, their home was entered into by three armed dark complexion male persons who demanded the keys for his black in color Toyota Hilux. As a result, his common law wife was tied up by means of an electrical chord and he was ordered to take those persons to the area where his vehicle was parked. As a result, he got into a struggle with those persons where he was hit on the head. So far, we also know that one shot was fired however he was not injured by that shot. The police are following several leads but so far there is no one detained and we are appealing to the public for their assistance."
Police have contacted their counterparts in Melchor as well - to see if the robbers skipped across the border.
