21 year-old Dorian Blair, one of 3 men who allegedly robbed a Chinese storeowner, is at the Belize Central prison tonight.
The robbery happened on November 3, at around 9 p.m. Jing Xaio Tan, who owns T Supermarket in Lords Bank Village reported that he was about to close up when 3 men entered, and one of them placed a gun to his head. Fearing for his life, he gave the gunman his licensed nine millimeter pistol and $3,200 in cash. The men then ran off.
Police later detained Blair pending investigation for the armed robbery, and found that he was tied up to another case of theft. When he was escorted to the Ladyville Police Station, he signed as the owner of a laptop computer which he had in his possession. The police looked into the origin of the laptop, and found that it had been stolen from Edgar Young on November 17, when his house was burglarized.
Police later arrested and charged Blair with the offences of robbery and handling stolen goods. He was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Ann Marie Smith, where he pleaded not guilty to the offences. He has been remanded into custody until January 31, 2017.
