"On Friday, the 7th of December at about 4:35 pm, Mr. Nathaniel Perera, a Belizean cashier of Benny's Bargain Center, located at No. 54 Freetown Road; he reported that he was standing in front of the business place when he was approached by a male person who came from the direction of Freetown riding a bicycle, who questioned him if the business place was still open. He replied that it was already closed; the male person did as he was riding back towards Freetown and came back again towards his location. Upon approaching him, the male person jumped off his bicycle, pull up his shirt, and pull out a fire arm and pointed at the male person. Fearing for his life, he hand over a deposit bag that he had with him, which contained $4765.00 in cash-- that was the day's sales. The male person then rode the bicycle towards Freetown again, making good his escape."
