And while police are launching an operation to thwart city thieves - Belize Rural is also seeing its share of armed robberies. Last night we told you about the one at Zeta Gas compound at mile 13, and, today, two robbers struck at a Chinese grocery named "Andy Shop" at mile 13 and a half. It was caught on camera where one of the men walks up, places a two dollar bill on the counter and asks to buy something. But he then pulls back, out of the camera's view and pulls a handgun, while his accomplice steps up to the counter and starts demanding money.
The grocer seems to have given them a drawer full of checkbooks - which the men rummaged through and then left.
Area residents tells us that this isn't the first time that this store right next to Los Lagos has been targeted by armed robbers.
