No Arrest Novelo's Robbery
posted (January 20, 2009)

Despite the fact that their brazen hold up and robbery on Monday morning was caught on camera – it wasn’t exactly in high definition and Belize City police have yet to arrest the two armed and masked men. As the tape showed, they ran into the compound of National Transport Services Limited and stole the bus company’s bag of undisclosed receipts believed to have been proceeds from the previous day sales.

Today when 7NEWS contacted the company’s operations manager Philip Jones he told us that he could still not confirm just how much cash was stolen. Likewise the police could not provide us with a number. Unofficial reports say it is in the range of twenty thousand dollars. A five thousand dollar reward has been offered.

What authorities have told us is that they have been questioning one person and that another person of interest is being sought. Other than that the police say the investigation is ongoing.
