Tonight, a couple from Orange Walk Town, are out on bail after they were taken to court in connection with the theft of an Apple iPad belonging to attorney Arthur Saldivar.
They are 54 year-old Ernesto Cruz, and his wife 52 year-old Anna Cruz, and they were taken to court for handling stolen goods. They were arraigned before Magistrate Herbert Panton, and they pleaded not guilty to the charge. They were represented by attorney Hubert Elrington, and they were granted bail of $1,000 each, which they were able to meet. They will return to court on September 30.
The case of this missing iPad has caused Saldivar to speculate publicly about the motive behind its theft, and he also alleged political mischief.
What police do know is that Saldivar's sister had it in her purse 2 weeks ago, and she went to E and A Bakery, to buy pastries. When she finished, she realized that it was missing. The Saldivar family reported it missing to police, and afterwards, Arthur Saldivar made his own attempts to locate it.
It just so happens that there is a feature on Apple devices which allows it to be tracked remotely using the GPS, and that's just what Saldivar did. He found out that it was located in Orange Walk Town, and he gave all this information to police. A week later, the iPad turned up back in Ladyville at the bakery, and police charged the Cruz couple, who are also the owners of the bakery.
