There were also armed robbers in Corozal - and no one to run them down after they held up a grocery store - and even held a child as a sort of hostage as they robbed the store.
It's a ruthless and calculated attack but police say they have suspects detained:
ACP Joseph Myvett
"Last night shortly after 8pm Corozal police responded to information of a robbery at Tang's Superstore in the Santa Rita area of Corozal Town, where they were reported to upon arrival that shortly before 8pm two male persons; one dark complexion and one clear complexion, entered the store. The dark complexion person was wearing a hooded jacket; while the shorter, clear complexion person was wearing a peak cap. They entered the store where the dark complexion man held up a 
customer and forced him back to the area of the counter whilst the other male person jumped over the counter and stole an undisclosed amount of money. They then made good their escape. Police was conducting investigation in that area where several items were recovered believed to be clothing items used by those persons. At this point in time police have three persons in their custody pending this investigation."
Two of the suspects are from Corozal - while a third is from a nearby village.
