Tonight, Belmopan Police are a manhunt to find 2 dangerous prisoners who escaped from their custody. They’re Lincoln Bejerano, who is on remand awaiting trial for murder, and David Cruz Jr. who is also on remand for the Income Tax robbery which happened 3 months ago.
We understand that the men were supposed to have been taken for a routine adjournment before the Belmopan court, but something happened which allowed for them to escape from police custody. We tried to find out more from the police boss, Commissioner Allen Whylie, and here’s what he told us today:
Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"There were two prisoners I was informed this morning who had escaped from the cell block. One was charged for murder and one was charged for robbery and my understanding is that there were to appear on court today. The individual officer who we deemed to be at fault will be dealt with disciplinary. We believe that proper protocol weren't adhere to in terms of his going into the cell block, removing those prisoners to use the ablution and in that process that was when they were able to escape from him."
Anyone with information which can assist the police in locating these two men, is asked to contact the nearest police station.
