Authorities in Belize continue their intensive search for the individuals responsible for the fatal shooting of two Sarita delivery drivers, a crime that has cast a shadow over the holiday season. The victims, identified as Raynard Garbutt and Alexander Crawford, were discovered deceased on Thursday night near the Hummingbird Highway’s mile forty marker, adjacent to their abandoned delivery vehicle.
The investigation was initiated after the two men failed to return to the company’s Santa Elena warehouse following their delivery route in Dangriga. Police confirmed both victims sustained fatal gunshot wounds.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith, who is overseeing the case, provided a statement on the progress of the investigation. “Regarding the investigation pertaining to the employees of Sarita Recinos,” ASP Smith stated, “while we have made some advancements, all I would like to add at this point is that the information that has been received is being meticulously reviewed. We urge persons to continue to come forward with information in relation to this investigation.”
The tragedy has profoundly impacted the local community and the families of the victims, occurring just days before Christmas celebrations. Police are appealing to the public for any information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible for this violent crime.
