Another business that’s been robbed multiple times – with the crime
caught on camera is Miami Store on Euphrates Avenue. But the news usually is
that no one was arrested. Tonight, though, it’s different. Today thirty
one year old Albert Middleton aka Cracker was arraigned on two counts of armed
robbery in Magistrate’s Court.
It was one of those broad daylight hold-ups; the crime unfolded around twelve
forty on Wednesday, September ninth inside Miami Grocery at forty eight Euphrates
Avenue. According to the store’s cashier Evy Espejo a dark skinned man
entered the establishment and pointed a gun at him. Espejo said that the man
stole his gold and diamond ring valued at five hundred dollars, a cell phone
and four hundred dollars from the cash register.
Middleton pleaded not guilty but Senior Magistrate Dorothy Flowers explained
to him that the court cannot offer him bail because the offences were committed
with a firearm. The accused was then remanded to the Belize Central Prison until
October fourteenth.
