Robber Hits Gas Tomza Depot

There was an armed robbery in Belize City on Tuesday night, involving an employee of Gas Tomza Ltd.  Twenty-four-year-old Irvin Carranza, a Salvadoran national, was at work a fuel depot near mile one and a half on the George Price Highway when a man armed with a knife entered the office.  That individual approached the attendant and demanded money.  Fearing for his life, Carranza surrendered three thousand, six hundred dollars in cash, the proceeds from the day’s sales, as well as cell phone valued at three hundred dollars.  When the robber got what he wanted, he hopped on a bicycle and made good his escape along the highway, in the direction of Fabers Road Extension.  A police investigation into the matter is ongoing.
