In October of last year when police intercepted a Toyota Hilux pickup that had just been stolen - and caught the driver - they thought that might be the end of a ring which was responsible for the theft of at least four Government owned Toyota Hilux pickups in 2014.
But, tonight, it seems that ring may have been resurrected - and they picked up, literally, where they left off: at the NICH Office in Belmopan. Public officer Jeovanni Pinelo told police that at around 2:00 in the afternoon he parked the grey 2010 Toyota Hilux at the NICH office - and when he went back outside at 3:30, it was gone. He alerted Belmopan police who went all the way to El Pilar near the Guatemala border - but found nothing.
7news has learned that the pickup was serviced just two days ago in Belize City. Important because the last one stolen form NICH had been serviced the day before it was stolen. The 2010 pickup was valued at 31 thousand dollars. Police say it was stolen between 3:00 and 3:30 pm.
