Authorities in Orange Walk District are actively investigating a sophisticated burglary that targeted Plett’s Electronics on January 5, 2026. The perpetrators executed a calculated break-in by excavating through a solid cement wall to gain unauthorized entry into the commercial establishment.
Despite triggering the security alarm system during the operation, the thieves successfully absconded with approximately sixteen mobile phones before law enforcement could intervene. Police officials confirmed their rapid response time of just four minutes after the alarm activation, but preliminary investigations indicate the culprits had already vacated the premises within the initial two minutes of the security breach.
Law enforcement personnel arriving at the scene documented a precisely crafted opening in the building’s exterior wall, which forensic experts believe served as the primary access point for the burglary. Notably, the criminal operation appeared specifically focused on electronic merchandise, as cash assets remained untouched during the incident.
In response to the theft, Plett’s Electronics management has announced a formal reward program for any information that directly contributes to recovering the stolen merchandise and facilitating the apprehension of those responsible. The company has reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing security measures while collaborating closely with district police authorities throughout the investigation process.
