…But armed robbery nets culprits thousands in cash

In the last month, we’ve reported that armed robbers have been targeting delivery crews around the country. Tonight, yet another hold-up has deprived a Belize City business of more than six thousand dollars in cash. According to twenty-two year old Madisco employee, Joel Young, around three-thirty on Thursday afternoon, he was on Goldson Avenue in the King’s Park area when a maroon Geo Prism pulled up near the truck. Two men jumped out, one of whom was armed with a gun and demanded the money bag. Young handed over his sales receipts, which totalled approximately six thousand three hundred dollars. Up to news time, police had yet to make an arrest but we understand that the license plate of the car used in the robbery is BZ C 30368. If you can assist the police in bringing the criminals to justice, please contact the nearest police station.
