There is little to report from the crime blotter tonight. Just after midday on Tuesday, two thieves – one armed with a gun – held up the sales supervisor from Bowen and Bowen on Gabourel Lane in Belize City. The robbers got away with about a thousand dollars in cash and other personal belonging from the driver. ASP Alejandro Cowo shares the details.

“Business sales supervisor for Bowen and Bowen, Mister Malcolm Mortis, twenty-eight years, was doing his delivery on Gabourel Lane, Belize City. While he was inside of his vehicle, he was approached by two persons of dark complexion; one of them was armed with a firearm.  The person pointed the firearm at him and as a result robbed him of his cellular phone and a thousand dollars Belize currency. Thereafter the two male persons made good their escape. So far, police have not detained anyone in reference to this robbery.”
