According to reports, the woman – a tourist – was walking on Main Street in Placencia around 6:30 am when her IPhone was stolen, probably by pick-pocketing.

When she realized her phone was stolen, the woman went straight to the police and a search was conducted in the Sunset area of the village.

That search led to the apprehension of Betancourt and during a search of his person, the stolen IPhone was found in his possession.

Albert Betancourt has since been arrested and charged for the crimes of theft and handling stolen goods.
