Sharp police work on San Pedro led to the rapid recovery of 28 thousand dollars in cash and designer items on Thursday.
At around 3:00 pm Ana Reyes parked her golf cart on Blake Street in front of her son's house leaving her five thousand dollar Louis Vuitton handbag out in the open for about 10 minutes. Of course by the time she returned someone had grabbed it.
Police checked the neighbor's security camera and saw a male person snatch it from the golf cart. A quick search led to the suspect in the DFC area. He led police to the purse behind the Bowen and Bowen depot. A large amount of US currency and pesos were still inside along with documents.
In total there was the 5 thousand dollar Louie bag, and inside that a smaller Louis Vuitton purse valued at $2,000, as well as a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses and a D & G reading glasses, jointly valued at $1,500, as well as an iPhone Pro Max valued at $3,500, along with assorted amounts of cash in various currency.
All told, the purses and their contents valued at $28,700 Belize dollars and police recovered $27,974 dollars of that.
