Citizens chase down Belize City mugger
The police even got some help in their crime fighting efforts from some public-spirited citizens. Around 8:00 Saturday night an Italian tourist was robbed at gunpoint while walking down North Front Street, but when the mugger took off with his victim’s knapsack he had some company. A number of passersby, along with tourism police, set out after the assailant, who eventually tried to escape by jumping into the Haulover Creek. A wet thirty-five year old Anthony Stevens of Victoria Street was eventually arrested and charged with robbery.
