Western Union safe found, but without $60,000

Last week Monday Western Union relocated to its new location in Belize City. And within days a heist at the new office at the Thurton Building on Coney Drive had all the appearances of a well planned burglary. The success and the tale of the burglars continued today as the police recovered the metal safe which had sixty thousand dollars in it when it was stolen. ‘Had’ is the key word because sources say that near El Cas on the Northern Highway, the safe was found busted open without any money inside. Police and Western Union reps. are keeping tight lipped about the burglary. On May second, three men committed a daring daytime robbery at the union’s former office on Regent Street. The security guard, Glenford Williams, was shot and eventually succumbed to his wounds.
