The area known as "The Dike" off Faber's Road in Belize was the scene of a daring aggravated burglary this morning. At around 12:25 a.m., police responded to a report of a robbery in progress. They found a BWSL security guard bleeding from the side of his face with his wrists tightly bound in black zip ties. He told police that while stationed inside a company vehicle, he was ambushed by a group of six masked men-three of whom appeared to be armed. According to the guard, the assailants threw him to the ground, tied his hands, and began burglarizing a container on the site. He says he was beaten and threatened before being locked inside the container as the robbers made their escape. They got away with 2 generators, one 1 power washer, and electrical items.
He was later able to break free from the restraints and seek assistance. No arrests have been made.
The 'Dike' area is a misnomer - it's actually the site of the city's sewage treatment ponds.
