By Aaron Humes: Police have intensified their search efforts following reports that a member of the Lev Tahor cult may be hiding in the country along with 13 female minors. Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police, says law enforcement agencies are on high alert and actively pursuing leads to locate the missing individuals.

Last week, three suspected members of the Lev Tahor group were returned to Guatemala after being apprehended. However, one member remains unaccounted for, prompting serious concerns about the welfare of the minors believed to be in their care.

“We have reasonable cause to believe that they are or may still be in Belize,” Commissioner Williams stated. “We have notified our commanders across the country to be vigilant and to report any sightings immediately.”

The Commissioner urged the public to assist in the search by remaining vigilant and promptly reporting any sightings of the individuals or the minors. “Once you see the photographs of those children, if you encounter them or someone who resembles them, please let us know,” he said. “We aim to ensure their safe return to their rightful homes.”

He emphasized the potential danger posed by the group and encouraged anyone with information to come forward. “These individuals are considered dangerous. Do not attempt to harbor them; instead, notify the police. We will treat all information with the utmost confidentiality,” Williams stated.

Individuals uncomfortable approaching police directly have been urged to use a dedicated tip line. “You can share information anonymously through our 922 tip line, and rest assured it will reach our officers,” he added.

As the search continues, Belizean authorities remain committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all minors involved in this case. Authorities are urging the community to engage and help bring this situation to a safe resolution.
