Elderly Couple are Victims of Home Invasion in Seine Bight

A frightening home invasion shook the Placencia Peninsula late last night. An elderly couple in their seventies, living in Seine Bight, endured a terrifying ordeal when armed men stormed their home. Police say the intruders tied up the couple and ransacked the house at gunpoint before taking off with valuables. Thankfully, the victims were left physically unharmed but visibly shaken. The incident is raising serious concerns about the safety of older residents in quiet coastal communities like Seine Bight, areas where many retirees and elderly Belizeans live in relative isolation. Tonight, police are on the hunt for the culprits and are urging anyone with information to come forward. They’re also reminding residents to stay alert and report anything suspicious.
