The reggae song warns that "these days men have no bounds" and resounding proof of that came last week, when a desperate robber attacked an 85-year-old woman. A 2:15 on Friday afternoon, Grace Ysaguirre, a resident of the Sister Cecilia Home for the Elderly, was on Wilson Street walking from the home to the Cinderella Plaza when she was attacked by a man on a bicycle. Fearing for her safety she told us more in an off-camera interview.
Grace Ysaguirre, Robbery Victim
"I was walking on my way home when someone approached me. They grabbed my bag and they pushed me down in the drain. In my bag there were contents, personal contents: my passport, my bank book, the card for when I go to Social Security, my Social Security card. There were watches, jewelry, four pens, my flashlight, calculator, papers concerning my sister's death and funeral."
Alfonso Noble,
Do you know who it was that attacked you?
Grace Ysaguirre,
"A young man on a bicycle, white shirt with black short pants."
Alfonso Noble,
Did he tell you anything?
Grace Ysaguirre,
"No he just pushed me down."
Ysaguirre says she had about $750 in U.S. and Belize cash. We understand that police have since recovered the purse that was stolen along with some documents that were inside. No one has been arrested.
