Three women busted for robbery

Story Picture
We are not sure if the timing was intentional, but three Belize City females chose to celebrate Women’s Week by attempting to jack a grocery shop. Unfortunately, their aggressive feminism may earn them a stint in the women’s section of Hattieville. Twenty-three year old Rosalie Flowers, Sandra McKenzie, also twenty-three, and seventeen-year-old Nioka Savery have all been charged with robbery after they allegedly stole two hundred and seventy-five dollars from the Bay Mart Store in Buttonwood Bay. The store’s owner, Mary Carter, told police that around 10:00 on Wednesday morning, she and two female customers were in the shop when a young woman entered and promptly left. The woman soon returned with a female friend and asked the price of a number of items. Soon a third young female, sporting a bandanna over her face, walked in and put a knife to the neck of one of the original customers. The two accomplices then opened the cash register and took a total of two hundred and seventy-five dollars. At this point, the woman held at knifepoint got loose from her attackers and along with her two fellow victims ran out of the store. They asked a neighbour to call police, who not only arrived quickly, but also managed to apprehend the trio of bandits.
