Corozal police say one of the men they believe participated in Monday night’s heartrending home invasion and arson that took place in the Village of Libertad is now in custody of the Belize Police Department. The male individual who is said to be from Belize City will be handed over to Corozal Police for questioning tomorrow.
As mentioned yesterday, on Monday night Perfecta Leal, owner of El Paso Bar was inside her establishment alone when she was ambushed by five armed mask men who tied her to a chair while they ransacked her residence located on the second floor of the building. After getting a hold on a number of gold jewelry and an undisclosed amount of cash, the assailants released Leal, choked her until she fell unconscious, set her bed on fire and then left the scene. Luckily Leal was awaken by the heat and smoke coming out of her bedroom and managed to escape unhurt. But the same cannot be said for her residence which went up in flames and was completely burnt down. Neither the building nor its contents were in insured.
