posted (July 8, 2010)
Thirty seven year old Lester Smith, one of two persons charged with the burglary of Belize Auto Zone on Cemetery Rd, was sentenced to five years in prison today in court after he was found guilty.

The second alleged robber, Eugene Tillett, had his charges withdrawn. The incident occurred during the early morning hours of January 13th. Smith and another man were seen running from the building when the alarm went off. The stolen items included $830.00 and assorted electronic equipment such as a computer and a flat screen monitor. Smith gave a statement from the dock in which he denied the charges.

He was convicted since the police found him with the computer and flat screen monitor shortly after the incident.
