Man arrested for street robberies
A man who says he is a laborer but apparently had a second job as a holdup artist has been arrested in connection with at least six armed robberies on Belize City streets last month. Police say twenty-one year old Eugene Tillett has been charged with four counts of robbery for jewelry and bicycles totaling almost three thousand dollars, two counts of theft for over five hundred dollars in jewelry, possession of an imitation firearm. A second man Jermaine Zuniga has been charged with robbery after a minor of St. Thomas Street reported that Zuniga held a knife to his side and took away his bicycle.
