25 year-old Jamil Meighan and 31 year-old Wilfred Stanley continue to face criminal charges after they were taken to court for over $10,000 in stolen from a Belize City woman, which they allegedly attempted to fence at pawn shops around the city.
29 year-old Janelle Reyes reported to police that between April 9 and April 12, her house on Freshman Street, West Landivar, was burglarized and stolen were an assortment of jewelry to a total value of $10,390. Police investigate her report for a little over a month, and they managed to recover some of the stolen jewelry from JL's Quick Loan, JEC Company and Fair Brothers Pawn Shop. Evidence given by personnel at these business places suggested that Meighan and Stanley went there with the stolen items and sold it to them.
This led police to arrest and charge the men; Meighan was charged with burglary, while Stanley was charged with 6 counts of handling stolen goods. They were arraigned yesterday before Magistrate Dale Cayetano, where they pleaded not guilty to the offences. They were granted bail of $6,000 and ordered to return to court on July 22.
