And police pretty much have the same story regarding this fruit vendor hold up, including another additional detail that the fruit vendors confirmed. During the struggle, the culprit fired 6 shots before he dropped the gun and ran off. Fortunately no one was hit. Here's the police account:
ASP Alejandro Cowo, OC, CIB Belize City
"The first time they came to purchase a banana and then they came back, saw what was happening, then they came back a third time, when they came back the third time, they pulled out a fire arm and they robbed the person in charge of the place of a few dollars. As a result, one of the male persons inside the shop struggled with one of the male persons and managed to take away the firearm from the person as a result of that several shots were fired in the area and police found 6 expended shells. So far police recovered the 6 expended shells and 9mm pistol that were found at the scene."
Police are looking for two suspects, a minor and an 18 year old.
