According to investigators, the burglars that stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Kortobacco Belize building in the Benque Free Zone gained access into the compound from an opening on the western side of the zone. According to the C.E.O. of the Benque Free Zone, Al D. Sattler, the chain link fence that encompasses most of the zone has been damaged by smugglers. Sattler says that smugglers would cut large holes through the fence in order to smuggle several items out. He says that the Benque Viejo Free Zone does not have the adequate resources to effectively tackle the issue.
