Chinese couple robbed, beaten in Belmopan

At the same time that thieves in Belize City were backing away Mr. Griffith’s safe, their cousins in the nation’s capital were terrorising a pair of Chinese residents. Li Fu Sheng and his wife Qiong Zhen were attacked by two armed masked men as they arrived at their home in the Cohune Walk neighbourhood of Belmopan around 11:45 p.m. The couple was beaten and robbed of two thousand dollars in U.S. currency, an unknown amount of Belize dollars and several pieces of jewelry. Police have not yet detained any suspects.
