Belmopan robbery suspects face charges
Police in Belmopan have detained two men they believe highjacked the capital city’s payroll last week. The pair, as yet unidentified, will be taken to Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday where they are expected to be read charges of armed robbery. Police say they have recovered a sawed off shotgun and three thousand of the more than nine thousand dollars stolen. Three city employees were on their way from the bank with the payroll on Friday when armed robbers stopped their truck and escaped on bicycles.
