Man Remanded After Being Caught With Murder Victim's Cycle

Just a few days after Shane Vargas was murdered in Ladyville, his sister filed a report that her brother's motorcycle had been stolen from inside his home. According to a report, the family received a tip from a neighbor who saw someone riding around on Vargas's motorcycle after it was secured in his home following his murder. This led police to detain 29-year-old Frank Young, who was arraigned today on a charge of handling stolen goods. Young pleaded guilty to the charge of handling stolen goods and the magistrate told him she would not impose a fine and he would be remanded, so he changed his plea to not guilty. Young was remanded to the Belize Central Prison, and is expected to appear back in court on October 6th, 2026.
