Stackle Monsanto caught

The search for Stackle Monsanto is over. Monsanto, who was wanted for a robbery, was picked up by police last night at a house on Vasquez Avenue in Belize City. On Tuesday morning authorities were informed that a robbery was taking place in the area of the Queen’s Square Market. When police arrived on the scene, they saw two men escaping on bicycles and while they managed to capture a sixteen-year old minor, Monsanto got away. Both men had just robbed Chinese businessman Lee Quan of two hundred dollars. Since the robbery, police say they had Monsanto under surveillance and last night made the decision to bring him in. According to the police, they went to the home of Ellington Ottley in the Kings Park Area and after searching the premises, found Monsanto hiding inside the bathroom. Monsanto was quickly arrested and charged with robbery. The minor has been charged with robbery, aggravated assault and possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition. Both appeared in Magistrate’s Court and were remanded to the Hattieville Prison.
