Belmopan police are looking for an employee of the income tax department to charge him in connection with a daring robbery that happened at that office on Friday.  Three men in camouflage clothing stormed into the building at 5:50.  One of them pointed a gun at a police officer who was providing security and then tied up all four persons who were in the office – also taping up their mouths. Â  One of the robbers then snatched $29,000.00 dollars in cash from the drawer - which were the tax receipts for the day. Â  They then took personal items and cash from the employees as well as the police officer’s weapon, a 38 revolver with five live rounds and his police cap. 

Investigations, security footage and a matched fingerprint show that an employee is involved and police expect to make an arrest shortly.
