By Breaking Belize News Staff: Police are investigating a burglary at J&C Shop on Racecourse Street in Belize City where thieves reportedly stole more than BZ$7,600 worth of property — including 50 live rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Police responded to the business early Monday morning, September 21, after the businessman was alerted that locks securing the shop had been damaged.
Investigators say entry was gained by cutting a padlock on the burglar-bar door and opening a shutter.
The shop owner later provided police with a detailed list of stolen property including cigarettes, cigars, scratch lottery tickets, beer, noodles, a network video recording device and UPS, and BZ$3,104 in cash.
Also reported stolen were 50 live 9mm rounds valued at BZ$75.
Police estimated the total loss at BZ$7,622.
Investigators processed the scene and reportedly lifted fingerprints. Police also recovered a pair of bolt cutters and took a DNA swab from a beer can which surveillance footage allegedly showed the perpetrators drinking from during the burglary.
Police have also reviewed surveillance footage from the shop as the investigation continues.
