posted (June 27, 2017)
Tonight a desperate Belize City car owner is asking for your help to recover her 2008 Saturn Vue. Here's how it was stolen: the owner Linda Turner was at the Sit and Sip bar on Saturday morning. Now, according to court reports, she didn't have a key for the vehicle so she took out the battery when she went to Sit and Sip. But a resourceful car thief came along, slapped his own battery in and zoomed off.

Police have caught the alleged car thief, 21 year old Jahleel Goodger a Belize City Car Washer who is in jail tonight, spending his first night on remand after being denied bail for stealing the SUV valued at $17,000.

The car owner alleges that she saw Goodger taking a battery to her vehicle and placing it inside then driving away with it onto Marine Parade Boulevard.

In court today, before Senior Magistrate, Sharon Fraser, Goodger was unrepresented where he pleaded not guilty to the charge. Police objected to bail since they say they have a strong case and the Magistrate agreed.

But, while the alleged culprit has been found, the vehicle is still missing. The owner is offering one thousand dollars for its return. It has preortedly been seen in the Roaring Creek area and in Dangriga.

So, if you have seen it, please call the police or 622-7157 or 624-6725.
