Last night we showed you footage of a pair of robbers pulling up in an unlicensed vehicle and walking into the Orange Walk Zitro Western Union office to commit an armed robbery. It happened din broad daylight in the heart of Orange Walk Town, but the men left 5 minutes later, calm and collected with the proceeds of the robbery. Today at the press briefing, police told us that they can’t discuss the details of the case but they are trying to confirm the identity of the thieves.
Sr. Supt. Hilberto Romero - Deputy Head, NCIB

Both persons then made good their escape in a vehicle which left from the area."

"Do we know anything about these persons? Were they doing surveillance days before? Do we know anything about them?"
