A gunman on a bike jacked a company’s payroll this evening in Belize
City. Sometime close to 5 pm, Jose Ketz -the owner of Creative Marketing returned
from the bank with a bag containing $3,000. As he exited the vehicle, a man
on a bike rode up and placed the gun in Ketz’s face and demanded that
Ketz hand over the money or he would be shot. Ketz gave the gunman his money
and cell phone after which the gunman rode off.
We were on the scene shortly after but Ketz was at the police station giving
a statement. The 3 thousand dollars was the payroll for his 15 employees. Police
are investigating.
