Gunmen Break Into Children’s Home

Two masked gunmen broke into Marla’s House of Hope in Belmopan early Monday morning.

Armed with handguns, the men confronted a female caregiver and forced her to lead them to another staff member. They then ordered the second caregiver to show them the rooms where the children were sleeping.

The gunmen demanded someone by name, but staff told them that no one by that name was there. After searching the building and finding nothing, the intruders left.

No one was injured.
