Friday, August 14th, 2015. Aaron Humes Reporting: The family of the late Leonel Guerra in Orange Walk want to know who broke into their family home this week.
According to the family’s report to police, while Guerra’s wife was out staying at another family member’s residence and between the last check of the house by family members who fed the dogs on Wednesday night and their return Thursday morning, a thief or thieves ransacked the residence.
Stolen was a forty-eight inch flat screen television, a radio system, DVD players, one Digicell cellular phone, one wheel barrow, at least three bottles of liquor and assorted jewelry. The burglars even broke one of the children’s piggy bank.
Police believe the men first jumped over the razor wires on the fence and made their way into the house through a small window in the kitchen. The rest of the windows are secured with burglar bars.
Upon making further checks, the family found the burglars’ escape route. They cut a hole in the chain linked fence that is located immediately next to an overgrown lot. There is where they took all the stolen items out.
The family has made an official report to police who suspect two persons. The family said that they will be offering a reward to anyone who can provide them with information that leads to the arrest of the burglars.
Anyone with information can contact the family at 677-3247 or the orange walk police.
