Michael Mena, and a teller
where held up and forced into
the vault. In complying with the
robbers demand an undisclosed
amount of cash was handed over
to them.
Just as they were exiting the
bank, a customer who had
arrived in a brown Ford Ranger
was relieved of a bag containing
over $10,000 which the
customer had reportedly
intended to deposit.
Two other persons in a black

over a transparent plastic bag
containing $552.50 from the
day's sale. Lozano reported that
she had barely taken possession
of the cash when a lone male
person of dark complexion,
armed with a small black gun,
stormed into the caf6 and order
her lay on the floor and not to
move.
She reported that shortly there-
after a second, male person, this
one unarmed, entered the estab-
lishment and the one with the
gun turned his attention to the
employees demanding that they
hand over their jewelry and
money. He then proceeded be-
hind the counter, opened the
cash drawer and removed the
$140 it contained. He also took
possession of a cellular tel-
ephone, value unknown, from
one of the workers as well as an
additional $602.50 in cash from
Lozano along with her wedding
ring, valued at $1,500 and her
cellular telephone, valued at
$500. She additionally complied
with the assailant's instructions
of remove and hand over the pair
of gold earrings she was wear-
ing, valued at $200.
After raiding all females inside
the caf6, the assailants exited the
establishment and turned their
attention to the female child and
the female adult who were
seated inside the vehicle parked
in front of the caf6. They
reportedly made off with the pair
of gold earring that the child was
wearing; valued at $250 as well
as the $150 gold earring the
female adult was wearing along
and $125 from the female adult


The driver of the car identified
as Clifford "Guana" Swasey of
a Santa Elena Town address

wound to the head while the
passenger emerged with a
gunshot wound to the shoulder.
They were subsequently
transported by BERT ambulance
to the Western Regional
Hospital in Belmopan where
Swasey is said to be in critical
condition.
Another customer rode into the
compound on a motorcycle and
upon hearing the gunshots he
reportedly jumped off the
motorcycle resulting in him
fracturing a leg, he too was
transported to the Western
Regional Hospital in Belmopan.
The unarmed bank KBH

the bank and ventured to the side
of the road only to be confronted
by a bullet in the chest from a
16 gauge shotgun one of the
robbers carried. The security
guard was identified as Steven
Lopez a resident from the village
of Unitedville. He reportedly
died on the spot.
The Scotiabank Spanish
Lookout Branch is located next
door to the Spanish Lookout
police sub station. The lone
constable on duty, reportedly

who was sitting inside the parked
vehicle. They then ran off and
disappeared into the darkness of
the night with the ill-gotten loot.
San Ignacio police is asking
anyone with information that
could assist in apprehending the
two bandits responsible for
preying upon these five
defenseless females, to kindly
inform the Commanding Officer
or the Sergeant in charge of the
Crime Investigation Branch at


the San Ignacio Police Station.
While reminding everyone that
it is a criminal offence to be
handling and dealing in stolen
goods, local crimes investigators
are enlisting assistance from
the business community and
the general public to be on
the lookout for these stolen
items. The police further
advise that all information will
be kept in the strictest of confi-
dence.

BELIZE SOCIAL SECURITY
BOARD HEADQUARTERS,
Belmopan, Friday, March 19,
2010:
The Social Security Board
(SSB) is now in a position to
publicly release more specific
information on the March 15th
robbery of the Belize City
Branch Office.
SSB confirms that two persons
with guns entered the premised
at Princess Margaret Drive in
Belize City and made away
with just over $1,500 in cash.
Contrary to what was


expressed in certain segments of
the media, at no time whatsoever
do we have substantial amounts
of cash at any Social Security
Office. Even on the busiest days,
as it was on the day of the
robbery, our transactions are
done primarily by cheques and
on-line banking. The value of
the cash on that day was
typically minimal, as very few
of our clients pay by cash.
Social Security Board is
moving towards on-line and
non-cash transactions, which is
much more convenient for the

ensures that our customers do
not have to line up on peak days

SSB would like to assure
contributors that we have
continuously been engaged in
measures to increase security at
the offices, which included the
installation, last year, of the

critical evidence to the Police.
These safety measures continue.
We would like to refute
statements in the media that a

including elders, told her that
what she met in the village
should be left in the village. She
was criticized for daring to speak
out.
Some girls were able to assert
themselves after receiving the
necessary information about
'good touch, bad touch' but
for many, their cries for help
fall on deaf ears and they
remain victimized by men they
trust fathers, cousins, uncles,
neighbours, teachers, friends of
the family.
In this village, many of these
girls have become teenage
mothers, high school drop-outs,
victims of domestic violence,
and mothers of children who also
become victims of child sexual
molestation. The vicious cycle
whirls in this village.
It does not stand out from other
villages around this country. Any
survey done in communities of
Belize will reveal that an
alarming percentage ofBelizean
females have been molested in
some way as a child, whether it
was before they reached puberty
or before they reached 18.
Some men hold the twisted
notion that as long as the girl
weighs 90 pounds, she is ready
to be had. Others believe that
as fathers, they should be the
first to sample their daughters.
Even more men believe that
little girls want to be sexually
molested, assaulted or violated.
They claim that girls enjoy the
experience. Some men even
believe that having sex with a
virgin will cure them of diseases.
Some men use their culture to
justify the violation of girls.
The potential of our girls is
undermined when they are
forced into sexual activities
before they are mentally and
physically mature to make such
a choice.
Like force ripe mangoes, many
Belizean girls are introduced
to sex before they are mentally
prepared for it. They become
promiscuous, confusing sex with
love. They have low self-esteem
and often do not achieve their
life goals. They are deprived of
the opportunity to finish
school and they are blamed
by the society for their
circumstances. Many girls
suffer in silence.
The time is long passed for this
silence to be broken. The time
has come for girls' stories to be
told.

gan during the daytime hours on
Sunday, March 14, as the gang
made regular visits to the super-
market, each time reportedly to
purchase a cigarette requiring
change just to check if the cash
drawer was "fat".
It was just before closing time
on Wednesday, March 17, when
word came back that the drawer
was "fat" and so the move was
executed resulting in the robbers
making off with over $700.
The three minors, one of


whom was reportedly the sawed
off shot gun man, along with the
adult male, identified as Ervin
Enfield Martinez, 20, Belizean
laborer of an Eve Street address
in Santa Elena Town, appeared
in San Ignacio's Magistrate
Court on Monday March 22,


where they pleaded not guilty to
the charge and were remanded
to the Central Prison in
Hattieville until Tuesday, April
27 when they should return to
court.
While it is alleged that the rob-
bery was actually committed by
only two persons, the prosecu-
tion informed that the investiga-
tion revealed that the other two
co-defendants were actually in-
volved in the conspiracy and
were therefore jointly charged in
accordance with section 20 (2)
of the Criminal Code, Chapter
101 of the laws of Belize which,
under the heading of
"Abetment and Conspiracy"
states that "Every person who
abets a crime shall, if the crime
is actually committed in
pursuance or during the
continuance of the abetment,
shall be deemed guilty of the
crime."

W ARIES:
March 22- April 20
The coming week is not just
about work and finances but also
about personal relationships. You
could have a wonderful time
with loved ones and even sort out
some old relationships that had
gone sour. The success of your
efforts depends on how well you
handle sensitive issues. Lucky
Numbers: 03, 18, 88.

4 TAURUS:
April 21 to May 21
You are poised to make some
radical decisions especially at
work. To others it may seem that
you are making some really
doubtful choices but even as you
take on initial trouble, the move
may work in your favour. Travel
is likely and so are some legal
wrangles. Lucky Numbers: 07,
35, 67.

p. GEMINI:
May 22 to June 21
Make sure that you keep your
health in good shape as you'll be

could seek out additional sources
of income or may start taking
your hobby more seriously.
Lucky Numbers: 09, 24, 48.

CANCER:
June 22 to July 23
The pressure at work builds up.
There are targets, expectations of
superiors and you have from
yourself that need to be met. You

drain you out and spoil your
relationship with loved ones, as
you fail to make time for them.
Lucky Numbers: 05, 51, 73.


LEO:
July '24 to August 21

with excitement and energy. You

S August 22 to
September 21
The coming week
brings greater closeness and
camaraderie between loved
ones. Successful travel is also

your head with all the joy or else
you might just make an
mistake somewhere.Lucky

and the beers were tasting so
good.
At a few minutes to 3 am, drunk
as a skunk, Anthony headed for
home.
Just as he got inside the door,
the cuckoo clock in the hall started
up and cuckooed three times.
Quickly, he realized his wife
would probably wake up, so he
cuckooed another 9 times.
The Best Guard Dog
Sam and George owned a store
in San Ignacio.
The store has been burglarized
several times in recent months
and Sam decided to buy a guard
dog.
Shopping for one, Sam found
a man selling dogs at the market
last Saturday morning. The sign
boasted, The Best Guard Dogs
That Money Will Buy.
He approached the man and to
his disappointment, all the dogs
were Pot Lickers'
"Excuse me ", Sam said to the
man, "Your sign says you sell
guard dogs. Where are they?"
The man, an elderly Chinese,
replied, "Oh, but these are
highly trained guard dogs.
They all know karate."
"Yeah Right!. "exclaimed Sam.
"I'll show you", said the man.
He took one of the dogs out and
put it in front of a cement brick.
The dog stood absolutely still.
The man gave a command,
"Karate! Brick!"
In complete astonishment,
Sam saw the dog perform a
perfect karate chop, splitting the
brick in half. Totally amazed, he
bought the dog and took it to the
shop.
He showed the guard dog to
George, who thought he was
completely mad and told him to
return it immediately.
"But, he is a trained guard
dog." protested Sam
"Yeah, sure!" responded
George.

Sam put the dog on the floor
and said, "He knows karate!!"
With a sneer George shouted,
"Karate! My Foot!"
George will be released from the
hospital in a few week's time.


He was really proud of
himself for having such a rapid
solution to escape a possible
conflict.
The next morning his wife
asked, "What time you get in
Anthony?"
"At the stroke of midnight,"
responded Anthony.
The wife didn't seem
disturbed at all and so Anthony
thought he had gotten away with
that one until the wife continued.
"We needed a new cuckoo
clock" said the wife.
When Anthony asked her why
she said, "Well, last night it
cuckooed 3 times, then said, 'Oh
crap,' it cuckooed 4 more times,
cleared its throat, cuckooed
another 3 times, giggled,
cuckooed twice and then
farted."

board, valued at $2,000 along
with a 16 channel, grey and
black, PV brand, sound mixer,
valued at $1,800 were missing.
Police visited the scene and
observed that entry was gained
by the removal of four wooden
louvers from a one of the win-
dows on the side of the build-
ing. One of the louvers was
found leaning against the wall
just below the window while the
remaining 3 were found around
the comer of the building, also
leaning against the wall.
The louvers were found with
clear finger print impressions
and they were brought to the
police station for further exami-
nation by the Scenes of Crime

lifted and were found with char-
acteristics similar to those on file
belonging to one Ryan Coleman.
Investigators obtained a
search warrant and proceeded to
Coleman's residence at #17
Minerva Lane in San Ignacio
Town where they found the

brand sound mixer. The recov-
ery of the items led to the arrest

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CLAIMS THE
LIFE OF A UNITEDVILLE MOTHER


Hector Jeovanni Pech, 29,
Belizean driver of a Benque
Viejo Town address.
The driver of the Isuzu
pickup truck was identified as
Rafael Caranza, 22, Belizean
farmer of a Bullet Tree Falls
Village address. He was
reportedly traveling in the
company of two passengers.
The Ford Escort car was
driven by Victor Moreno, 50,
Belizean, Air Traffic Control
Officer working at the
Phillip Goldson International
Airport with the Civil Aviation
Department of the Government
of Belize. Moreno, residing with
his family in the village of
Unitedville, was driving in the
company of his common-law-
wife of 20 years, Leticia Marva
Garcia, 46, Belizean domestic,
seated in the front passenger seat
and the couple's 12 year old son
seated in the back seat of the car.
Within minutes of the
accident, two ambulances from
the Spanish Lookout Branch of
the Belize Emergency Rescue
Team (BERT) arrived on the


scene. Leticia is reported to have
died almost on impact from
severe head and body injuries
while Victor Moreno and his son
were placed in one ambulance
and rushed to the Western
Regional Hospital in Belmopan
where Moreno was treated and
released while the son, suffering
from a broken right leg, was
transported to the Karl Heusner
Memorial Hospital where he is
slated to undergo surgery.
Rafael Caranza was placed
inside the other ambulance and
also transported to the Western
Regional Hospital where he was
treated and released into the
hands of the police.
The body of the Leticia Marva
Garcia was removed from the
scene and transported to the
morgue at the San Ignacio
Community Hospital where it
was officially pronounced dead.
While, they await the results
of a urine sample from Rafael
Caranza, San Ignacio Police
nonetheless proceeded to lay
five charges against him as
follows: i) Manslaughter by
negligence, ii) Causing death by


careless conduct, iii) Drove
motor vehicle without due care
and attention and iv) Negligent
grievous harm upon Victor
Moreno and v) Negligent
grievous harm upon Moreno's
12 year old son.
Caranza appeared before San
Ignacio's Magistrate, Anna
Rachel Montejo, on Monday,
March 29, 2010, where the
charges were read to him. No
plea was taken as the matter will
be heard on indictment at the
Supreme Court level.
The accused was offered and
met bail, just at the close of the
business day, in the sum of
$8,000 plus 1 surety of the same
amount. He was released on the
condition that he surrenders all
travel documents to the Clerk of
Court until the date of the
Preliminary Inquiry (PI). He will
be returning to court on Tuesday,
June 29, 2010 when the PI is
slated to commence.
While there is no report of in-
juries caused to the other two
persons reportedly traveling with
Caranza, the driver of the Freight
Liner is said to have emerged
somewhat shaken but with no
apparent injuries.
The body of Leticia Marva
Garcia was transported to the
Karl Heusner Memorial
Hospital on Monday, March 29
for the legally required post
mortem examination.
Reports reaching us indicate
that Leticia's brother Balbino,
who lives next door, worked
most of the day on repairing the
car and when he was finished,
Victor drove into San Ignacio
Town to update the insurance
and at the same time the family
did some grocery shopping.
They were returning home when
tragedy struck.
Leticia Marva Garcia is prede-
ceased by father Balbino Garcia
and one brother Reynaldo
Garcia. She is survived by her
mother, Gloria Perez; brother,


Balbino Garcia Jr.; Sisters,
Martha Lemus, Brinette
Garcia and Odette Robateau.
She is also survived by Victor
Moreno, her common-law-
husband of 20 years as well as
two sons Joshua and Dishon
Moreno.
She will be laid to rest on
Wednesday, March 31, in
Unitedville, the place where she
was born, grew up and lived all
her life. The funeral service will
be held at 3:00 pm at the
Pentecostal Church in
Unitedville Village. May her
soul rest in eternal peace.
At the request of the brother,
Balbino Garcia Jr., the Moreno
and Garcia families express
heartfelt appreciation to the
Unitedville community for their
expression of sympathy espe-
cially to Area Representative,
Hon. Ramon Witz and Village
Chairman, Michael Juan for all
the support provided during
these difficult times.
