“Reference the aggravated assault report that occurred on Thursday in Hattieville, we have since arrested and charged Blake Lewis for the crimes of attempted murder, discharging a firearm in public, aggravated assault and possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition. On Saturday February 10th, 2024, around 3:30 p.m. Julian Xin, thirty-eight-years old Chinese businessman of Xaibe Village, Orange Walk District, reported that he was inside his store when he was approached by two male persons who were armed with firearms. Thereafter, the male persons held him up and they stole an undisclosed amount of money and made good their escape.  We have no suspects at this time.”
