By Breaking Belize News Staff: A 31-year-old bus conductor, Noel Robateau, also known as “Noah,” has been served with disclosure and will stand trial for theft following his latest court appearance in the Belize City Magistrate’s Court.
Robateau, who appeared unrepresented, was provided with seven pages of disclosure related to the charge, which dates back to December 2025. Despite being granted bail at that time in the sum of $1,000 plus one surety of the same amount, he has remained on remand at the Belize Central Prison for over two months, having been unable to meet the bail conditions.
His trial is scheduled for July 2, 2026.
According to police, the incident occurred on Monday, December 15, 2025, at approximately 3:20 p.m. The virtual complainant, a resident of Vernon Street, reported that he was walking along Cemetery Road when he stopped to speak with two acquaintances known to him as “Warrior” and “Noah” at a restaurant across from the Vin Fa Shopping Center.
During the interaction, “Warrior” reportedly asked the complainant to purchase drinks. The complainant agreed but indicated he would buy them at Golden Sky Supermarket instead. While “Warrior” accompanied him to the store, “Noah” remained behind at the restaurant.
At the supermarket, the complainant purchased two beers and a $6 phone credit for his secondary device, a black Poco phone valued at $280. While waiting for confirmation of the credit, he realized the phone—kept in a transparent case containing $130 in Belize currency and a $50 US bill—was missing.
The complainant later returned to the restaurant, where, in the presence of police officers, surveillance footage was reviewed. The footage allegedly showed Robateau removing the phone from the complainant’s bag.
Police reported that Robateau denied both the theft and being present at the location. A formal report was subsequently made at the Queen Street Police Station, leading to charges being brought against him.
