Is there an active ring of robbers targeting ATM machines?
Exactly one year ago, a trio of robbers stole a Belize Bank ATM machine located Escuela Secundaria Tecnica Mexico's school campus in San Roman, Corozal.
And now it would appear that the same thing has happened again, only this time Puma Gas station's ATM on Faber's road was the target. The entire execution of the robbery was caught on surveillance footage, and today ACP Romero told us that they have yet to narrow down any suspects.
