On last night's newscast, 7News told you about the 3 men who were caught on the Port of Belize compound in the act of stealing a boat engine. Well tonight, they are in police custody awaiting preparations to meet bail after they were taken to the Magistrate's Court today.
According to one of the security guards at the Port, he was on duty at around 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday night. He decided to make his regular checks on the compound when he found 19 year Robert Flowers, and 2 minors, ages 16 and 17 inside the Port of Belize's Pilot boat, "Morning Mist".
According to the security guard, the young men had a box of tools, and they had just finished loosening one of the boat's engines. All 3 were detained, and handed to over to police who charged them with attempted theft. They were arraigned before the Chief Magistrate, Anne Marie Smith. They pleaded not guilty to the charge and were granted bail of $500.
They weren't able to meet bail, so they will remain in police custody until they are able to make arrangements. They must return to court on April 12, 2013.
