A man was carjacked on the Santa Rosa Road near Xunantunich this morning. It happened at about 9:00 am. 43-year-old Elias Sanchez Guttierrez had gone about half-mile from a police checkpoint when he found his path blocked by rocks. 

That’s when three masked men emerged from the bushes. Sanchez attempted to reverse but his vehicle got stuck in nearby bushes. That allowed the men to open fire on the vehicle, forcing Sanchez to jump out of the black pickup and run for his life. A cellphone and other items left inside were stolen along with the vehicle.
