"She entered and observed three dark complexion male persons inside her home ransacking her house. As a result, she shouted for help and in so doing, her common-law husband came around and observed those persons and fired several warning shots into the air in order to alert those persons that they were home. As a result, those persons fled the scene, making good their escape. They observed that a number of items were stolen including cash and other personal items. Police investigation has into this matter has led to the detention of two persons so far, one being Avery Bain, 19 years of a Belize City address, who has since been arrested and charged along with a 17-year-old minor of Hattieville for the crimes of burglary and handling stolen goods."

Apart from recovering the stolen items, police also found 2 masks, and changes of clothing for the out-of-town burglars.
