San Fa Construction Supplies in Corozal Town Hit by 4 Robbers

Since Monday, there have been two robberies in the Corozal District; and although they were miles apart, in both instances four armed men held up the proprietors of the Chinese-owned business establishments. The first incident occurred on Monday evening around four-thirty p.m. in San Andres Village at San Fa Construction Supplies. According to the proprietor, thirty-three-year-old Hsien Ching Wu, four masked men entered the hardware store armed with guns and stole over six hundred dollars in cash and two cell phones. ACP Joseph Myvett says that there were no security cameras at the store.
