5 men charged in Belmopan heist

The two men who allegedly jacked the Belmopan City Council’s payroll on Friday had their day in court today… and they were joined by three others who are said to be in on the heist. Frank Elijio, a twenty-year-old student and Lionel Henry, an eighteen year-old labourer, both of Belize City have been jointly charged with robbery and three counts of aggravated assault. The other three men, Marlon Harris Fisher, nineteen of Belmopan, Keino Greene, twenty-six, of Ontario Village, Cayo, and Jermaine Fuentes Depaz, twenty-five, of Stann Creek have all been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery. Police have so far recovered only three thousand of the over nine thousand dollars the robbers stole, along with a sawed-off shotgun.
