4 detained in Belmopan robbery

The proprietor of a Belmopan fried chicken emporium is recovering from a knock to the head after he tried to resist an armed robbery. Forty year old Jang Shi-fa told police that around 9:00 Sunday night, four men came into his establishment on Hummingbird Avenue and place their orders. One of them soon produced a shotgun, however, and demanded some cash. When Jang declined to hand it over, the gunman hit him in the head several times. The gang then rifled the cash drawer and escaped with six hundred and fifty dollars. Belmopan police have since detained four men.
