We’ve reported on home invasions in Belize City but tonight we have news of a broad daylight home invasion that occurred at midday yesterday in Ranchito Village in the Corozal District.

Raminel Anderson says that at around 12:15 he was inside his house when four dark skinned men, all wearing masks, barged in and held him up at gunpoint. He says he was beaten on his forehead with a gun – cutting it – after which he was tied to a chair. The men then rummaged the house and left with $2,035 in cash and jewellery.

Police are investigating and anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 0-800-922-TIPS.
