Deja vu sets in as another Chinese shop robbed

There’s a new Belizean twist on the old adage that the only inevitable occurrences are death and taxes. We’d like to add to the list: the nightly robbery of a Chinese grocery and the pollution of the North Stann Creek after a rainstorm. The shopkeeper of choice on Thursday night was thirty-four year old Zhao Tong. He tells police that just before midnight, two dark skinned men entered his establishment on Mahogany Street and ordered a dozen eggs. Instead of payment Zhao received a knock in the forehead with the butt of a thirty-eight revolver. The robbers departed with three hundred dollars in cash.
