By Breaking Belize News Staff: A 26-year-old Belize City man is behind bars after being accused of robbing two teenage girls in separate incidents—one involving a firearm and the other involving threats—both on the same day.
Omar Morales, of no fixed address, was arraigned before Magistrate Ludlow Black on two counts of robbery following reports that he targeted female minors in two separate parts of the city on Tuesday, July 1.
In the first incident, a 16-year-old St. John’s Junior College student reported that around 9:50 a.m., she was standing in front of Kevaun’s Pawn Shop at the corner of East Canal and Regent Street West when Morales allegedly approached her on a bicycle. After being ignored, he reportedly lifted his shirt to display what appeared to be a black firearm and demanded her jewelry. The victim said she handed over two chains valued at $100 total, and Morales then snatched her iPhone XXMax valued at $1,000, along with a $100 phone case, before fleeing toward Water Lane against the flow of traffic.
Later that same day, at around 1:00 p.m., a 14-year-old student working on a school project at the Rogers Stadium bleachers was approached by a man matching Morales’ description. The suspect allegedly pushed the two girls down, sat beside them, held his hand in his pocket, and told them he had a gun. Out of fear, the girls handed over their phones and $30 in cash. Morales then reportedly ran out of the stadium and escaped on a bicycle.
Both victims later identified Morales at the police station. Surveillance footage also reportedly captured him leaving the scene of one of the robberies.
Despite pleading not guilty to both charges and claiming, “I neva do that,” Morales was denied bail due to the seriousness of the offenses. He was remanded to the Belize Central Prison until his next court appearance on August 29, 2025.
