Three days after being sought by police in connection to a large amount of
missing money the three Chinese nationals Kan Shi Kun, Li Ting and Liang Jun
are all free today and will not face any criminal charges.
Shi Kun, Ting and Jun who all work for the North American Company in the Corozal
Free Zone were wanted by authorities after it was reported that they stole forty
thousand U.S. dollars, three hundred thousand pesos and fifteen thousand Belize
dollars from inside a safe at their workplace, which is Yabra Plaza in the Free
Zone.
A store manager Zhung Jun who was hired by the business owner Kevin Sing is
the one who alerted the police. They immediately released the pictures of all
three employees. The trio who were in the process of buying plane tickets to
go back home were still in Corozal Town when they saw themselves on 7NEWS
on Monday night and then turned themselves in to the police station.
7NEWS understands that Shi Kun, Ting and Jun told
police that they had informed the store manager that they would be taking ten
thousand U.S. dollars to fly back home. They were leaving the country because
they told authorities that the business owner Kevin Sing who departed Belize
over a year ago had promised to make deposits into their family’s accounts
back home but that they received word that no funds had yet been received.
Today the officer in charge of Corozal Police Station Miguel Guzman told 7NEWS
that the three were freed from any criminal charges because the store manage
Zhung Jun told them that he was instructed by the business owner Kevin Singh
to not press any charges against the three employees. Why? Well all information
to the police suggests that indeed there was a financial arrangement made between
the business owner and the employees.
Just what arrangements were made it is not known. Furthermore police told 7NEWS
that the money is no longer missing. According to authorities the business owner
Kevin Singh has also informed his store manager Zhung Jun that the money was
sent to China.
