Robbers Strike Again
posted (June 23, 2020)
Armed robbers have struck again in Cayo - but this time they made sure that there's no video evidence of their crime.

Last night at 7:35, three men walked into Chen's Supermarket in Bullett Tree - without masks. They pretended to be regular customers picking up beer and Campari, but then they flipped the script. One of them pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the proprietor, Botai Chen's head.

They pulled down the shutters, tied up Chen and his two employees and demanded money. He told them all his money was in the draw, but they didn't believe and proceeded to ransack the store where they found nothing.

They eventually left with the $2,000 dollars that was in the cash draw, a few bottles of Campari and a cell phone. But, they didn't stop there, the men then grabbed a ladder, took it to where the TV monitors are and removed the DVR for the security cameras.

After that, they lifted the shutters and escaped into the night.
