Boledo vendor hit by armed robbers

A fifty-five year old Belize City Boledo vendor was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday. Police say Michael Theus was selling lottery tickets at his home on West Street when two young men brandishing handguns entered and held him up. One of the robbers emptied Theus’s pockets of three hundred and thirty-five dollars. Not satisfied, the same person is reported to have cleaned out the cash register of one thousand seven hundred and thirty dollars. The duo, say police, carried a point twenty-two and a nine-millimetre handgun respectively. One is described as being of light complexion, the other dark. No arrests have yet been made by police.
