By Belize Live News Staff: Police in Orange Walk are investigating a brazen daylight robbery that occurred at a 24/7 gas station along the Belize–Corozal Road on Saturday afternoon.
According to police, officers responded around 1:20 p.m. after receiving reports that the gas station had just been robbed at gunpoint. Upon arrival, police spoke with a 22-year-old pump attendant who reported that she and her coworker were approached by two masked men riding a small black scooter.
The attendants told police that the passenger on the scooter pointed a firearm at one of them and demanded that both women hand over their pouches. Fearing for their lives, the attendants complied, surrendering cash totaling one thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight dollars.
The suspects then fled the scene on the scooter, heading in the direction of Landy’s and Sons along the Belize–Corozal Road. Police have since launched an investigation.
