Was Someone Trying To Set The Belize Bank On Fire?
posted (July 23, 2020)

And from cold-blooded murder to attempted arson. It's a criminal act that was almost perpetrated on Belize Bank's Albert street branch.

At around 2:46 this morning security footage shows a pickup truck reassembling a ford 150 cab parking beside the building and dropping off five tires.

And by about 3:00 a police patrol noticed the tires kindled by grass burning beside the bank. Their quick actions may have saved the building and resulted in no damage being done. But while the vehicle is visible in the surveillance footage police couldn't make out the license plate due to poor visibility.

Obviously, the connection can be drawn that this arson attempt on the Ashcroft Alliance's flagship Belize Bank may be related to the unrest at the Port of Belize.
