Police in Orange Walk are investigating a daring early morning burglary at Plett’s Electronics, where thieves breached the building by digging through a cement wall and escaping with several electronic devices. The alarm was triggered shortly after two a.m. and officers were on the scene within minutes, but investigators say the suspects had already escaped. About sixteen cellular phones were reported stolen, prompting the company to offer a reward for information leading to their recovery. According to police, video evidence has produced leads, and a suspect is now detained while the investigation moves forward.
