Corozal citizens assist with robbery arrests

While police are disappointed on one front, they are commending the villagers of Concepcion, Corozal for helping to apprehend four suspects in a series of robberies. Police say on August twenty-seventh Florencio Aban of Concepcion reported that three Hispanic men went to his house and tried to hold him up at gunpoint. Villagers, however, came to his aid and began to chase the men, catching Oscar Alfonso Tun and turning him over to police. With assistance from the community, police say three days later they went to the home of another suspect Juan Castellanos. Two other men were observed trying to run from the house. Castellanos and German Rodriguez Miranda were taken into custody immediately and a gun was seized. Balmore Figueroa was detained sometime later. All four face robbery charges.
