And, in that same area of Cayo south, Abner Alas was shot at during an attempted robbery in Teakettle Village.
Alas was carrying the payroll when a gunman appeared and opened fire:...
ACP Joseph Myvette - Head of NCIB
"One Abner Alas, 30 years old farm manager for TKO Farm located somewhere Teakettle Village in the Cayo District reported to police that on Friday last sometime around 11:30am, he was travelling in a white pickup alone towards the farm and upon reaching some 500 yards from the farm gate, a Hispanic male person came out from the bushes and fired several shots towards his direction, damaging the vehicle. As a result, he was able to reverse the vehicle a safe distance where he got out and ran to safety."
"We are of the opinion, based on our initial information at this point in time that he was taking the farm's payroll to pay workers."

"Would you classified that as possibly workings of an inside job, because who would know that he had that money?"
ACP Joseph Myvette - Head of NCIB
"At this point in time we do not want to say that. However, we are looking at several suspects from within that area."
