By Aaron Humes: Police in Corozal are searching for 35-year-old Manuel Chacon, who is wanted in connection with a series of crimes, including the alleged arson of his common-law wife’s home and a violent vehicle theft.
According to reports, Chacon reportedly set fire to the residence after a domestic dispute with his partner. Police responded to the scene on Friday evening, but by the time they arrived, Chacon had barricaded himself inside the house, which was soon engulfed in flames. Firefighters worked swiftly to extinguish the blaze, but fortunately, no one was found inside, and the house suffered extensive damage.
The following day, Chacon allegedly entered the home of Edward Rudolf, wielded a machete, and assaulted him before stealing his maroon vehicle, along with cash and electronic items. Rudolf sustained injuries but managed to report the incident to the police.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Hilberto Romero hinted at the possibility that Chacon may be trying to flee the country: “That is the information we gathered. [On Monday afternoon], the vehicle was found in Orange Walk; however, Chacon has not been found,” he stated.
Police are urging anyone with information regarding Chacon’s whereabouts to come forward.
