Woman Says Cops Barged In, Caught Her Exposed
posted (April 14, 2016)
Police barged in to her house while she slept naked. That is what one City woman is alleging. The incident occurred sometime around 9:30 this morning and Denise Dougal a tenant at 48 South Street says that she was resting inside her room. She lives there with her husband and daughter but was alone at that time, when three male police officers forced their way into her house. When we got to the scene special branch officers were still combing the yard. Dougal told us that in her 7 years of living there, she has never been subjected to that sort of disrespect by police officers.

Dougal remains adamant that no one at that house is involved in anything illicit. We understand that the operation was being carried out by the Special Branch Unit from Belmopan. We don't know if anything was found but what we can tell you is that the officers were searching from 10 am up until 2:30 this afternoon.

And if you follow up on our news you'd know that this is not the first time this week that a woman has complained about police violation of privacy. So what can they do about it? ACP Williams says- if it happens on the southside, take it to his office and he will deal with it.
