Gas station manager kidnapped and robbed
Esso Ramon’s Gas Station at two miles on the Northern Highway was robbed over the weekend. It seems that the robbers were casing the joint before moving in since they waited until the manager closed the business and then they followed him to his home on Dolphin Street. When Ricardo Gongora exited his van, two masked men with firearms approached him and demanded money. They then ordered him to take them back to the gas station where one unarmed guard was posted. The guard was also held hostage while Gongora was forced to open the door to the office where he handed over an undisclosed amount of cash along with one thousand dollars from his wallet. The ordeal was not over for the guard and the manager as they were both forced into the van and taken to the Haulover Bridge where they were released. The robbers then fled the scene in Gongora’s van. Gongora, who was still visibly shaken from the incident, said he has gotten his vehicle back. He said the security cameras did not capture the incident since all lights were turned off.
(somethings sounds fishy) anybody else have questions?
How stupid of a business to have security camera but no lights on, something does smell fishy.
get gards with gun for security people
Knowing the situation in Belize, why would you carry such amount of money with you and per the news they went back to the place of business and get more cash!!. What happened to night drop at the banks?
How is Belize been restored when 90% of the news coming out of the Jewel is crime related?It seems to me that the criminal elements are more effective than the Belize Police Dept.
As long as no one got hurt! Best wishes to the manager and the guard!!! It’s OK, just relax and gain comfort from the fact that they did no serious physical harm, God Bless!!!!
Something does sound fishy they followed him from the gas station to his house and he didn’t realized he was being followed ….hmm then they have security cameras but conveniently the lights weren’t on…..makes you wonder doesn’t it and finally they took his vehicle but he got it back already very strange. There are pieces missing for sure come on BP you all need to do proper investigation into this definitely FISHY.
