There was a robbery today in the heart of Belize City's downtown area. It happened in the parking lot of the Pink Boutique on North Front Street - near the swing bridge.
This afternoon the police press officer told us what they knew so far:
Rafael Martinez, Public Relation Officer - Police Department
"This morning at 11am, I am sure you guys have heard about it, it was a robbery that occurred in the parking lot of Pink's Boutique where the owner of that establishment was robbed of an undisclosed amount of money by a lone person on a motorcycle. The investigation is still in its infancy stage, so I cannot disclose any more on that, but I can tell you that we ae following several leads in this latest robbery in the city."
Today, we spoke with the Management of Pink Boutique, and they told us that they believe that the robbery might be an inside job because the employee who was robbed, does not have a set schedule. They told us that he moves randomly, and they believe that the robber was informed just before the driver was going to deposit funds earned from weekend sales. They also told us that there is the suspicion this robber may have conducted surveillance of the boutique before he struck. The deposit was reportedly in the thousands of dollars.
