Last week, we told you about the spike in armed robberies in Belize City, and that disturbing home invasion in Ladyville by pretend police officers.
Well, there is one more out of Corozal. It happened at the Courts Branch in Corozal on last week Friday. 2 men barged in with a firearm at around 4:00 that evening, and they robbed the place of almost 6,000 in sales.
Today at the police press conference, the cops shared the details:
