35 year old Donela Smith from Palmar and 26 year old Johny Netty Lopez, from Ranchito were allegedly caught on surveillance camera stealing the panties from Siloe store on Orange Street.

They were taken to Belize City Magistrate's Court this morning and arraigned on a single charge of theft.

The allegation is that on Tuesday, November 17, they stole 150 assorted adults underwear, value $1,050.00 along with 75 assorted children underwear, value $187.50, property of Ingrid Perez, the owner of Siloe Store. Police found the pair at the bus station.

And even though they were caught on camera, the pair pleaded not guilty. Senior Magistrate, Sharon Fraser explained to them that the evidence before the court is very strong and that they should consider their plea before entering one.

That's when Smith changed her plea to guilty, and then quickly changed it back to not guilty.

Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser denied the women bail and remanded them into custody at the Belize Central Prison until January 28, 2015. By 12 noon today, the women sought the advice of an attorney and wanted to change their not guilty plea back to guilty but could not get the matter to be called back up.

Attorney for the women, Oscar Selgado says that the matter will be dealt with on Monday.
