By Breaking Belize News Staff: Police in Belmopan are investigating a robbery in which two men on a motorcycle reportedly made off with approximately $11,000 in cash and cheques belonging to Circle R Products Ltd. on Tuesday afternoon, November 10.
The incident occurred around 3:45 p.m. near Fa Shop on George Price Boulevard, where a 32-year-old salesman had stopped while making deliveries with two assistants.
According to police, the salesman and his coworkers had completed several deliveries throughout Belmopan and were preparing to continue their route when an unidentified man suddenly opened the driver’s side door of their Kenworth box truck and demanded money.
The robber reportedly searched the truck and grabbed a brown leather bag containing the day’s sales proceeds and collected cheques.
The salesman told investigators that the suspect reached toward his waist during the confrontation, leading him to fear that the man was armed.
The suspect also demanded cellular phones but fled without obtaining any.
Police say the robber escaped on a black motorcycle driven by another man who was reportedly carrying a firearm. Both men fled in the direction of Our Lady of Guadalupe High School.
The suspects were dressed in dark clothing, with one wearing a face mask and the other a helmet concealing his identity.
Investigators have obtained surveillance footage from a nearby business and the Public Safety Monitoring Unit as they work to identify the suspects.
No arrests have been reported.
