Gunpoint home invasion in Central Farm: Thieves make off with over $8,000 in cash and valuables

By Horace Palacio: Police are investigating a home invasion that occurred in Central Farm, Cayo, on Saturday, December 30th, 2023.

Around 7:00 p.m., a 27-year-old resident of the village reported encountering two masked individuals on his verandah. The men, described as dark-skinned and wearing hoodies and ski masks, brandished what appeared to be a 9mm pistol and a .38 revolver, forcing the resident to open the door.

Upon entering the house, the assailants demanded money and physically assaulted the homeowner. They ransacked the residence, stealing approximately $4,000 USD, vehicle keys for a Nissan Frontier and a Jeep Patriot, two Samsung phones, a brown wallet containing $500 BZ along with personal documents, a laptop computer, a camera, and a bag containing the homeowner’s passport.

Following the robbery, the perpetrators fled the scene. The homeowner managed to find help from neighbors and contacted the police.

Police searched the area but were unable to locate the suspects. The scene was processed by the crime scene unit, and the victim received medical attention and assistance in filing a formal statement.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
