By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Police in southern Belize are investigating an early morning robbery that left a waitress stripped of nearly $5,000 worth of jewelry.

The incident occurred in the Savannah area of Hopkins Village on Monday, March 23, 2026. According to official reports, a 24-year-old waitress was socializing with a friend near the roadside at approximately 12:50 a.m. when the pair was approached by two unidentified men.
