No Complaint In Belmopan Armed Robbery
posted (November 8, 2018)

Two night’s ago we showed you the robbery of Tai Fu store in Salvapan.  Well, police say they have a known suspect, but the store-owner doesn’t want to make a complaint: 

ACP Joseph Myvett - Head, NCIB
"Police responded to an information of a robbery in the San Martin area of Belmopan city where they visited a Chinese store where it was learnt that shortly after 11:30, one male person of Creole descent armed with a handgun visited the area where he held up the owner of the place and demanded money, so far police have been unable to get any other information including, not getting corporation from the owner of the establishment, no official report has been made either."

Jules Vasquez
"No official report has been made, okay now in this case the video that we all saw, the person appears on camera quite clearly, is it anyone known to police, is it someone suspected in the Belmopan area or Belize City?"

ACP Joseph Myvett
"Well the police is looking for one person in that regard without a complaint however probably recover the firearm if he is found."

Without a complaint, there can be no criminal charge, but police hope they can recover the gun.

As it relates to the Lily Store robbery in San Ignacio, police are looking for two suspects from the area. A motorcycle has also been impounded in relation to this case.
