Thieves use knives to hold-up Belmopan video store

Belmopan police are looking for three suspects who held up a video store at knife point. According to employees of Celia’s Video Rental and Gift Store, just after two on Wednesday afternoon three young, unmasked men with knives entered the establishment and held up the sales clerk. Once inside, the thieves locked the door, blindfolded the female employee, and bound her hands and mouth. Police say the trio then robbed the clerk of her jewellery, took watches from the display case, and removed the cash from the register. Subsequent investigations have estimated the value of the heist at approximately one thousand two hundred dollars. After she was sure the men had left the building, the victim was able to free herself and call for help.
