Man Robbed in Broad Daylight, Assailants Escape

A brazen daytime robbery unfolded on Princess Margaret Drive in Belize City just minutes ago. The victim, reportedly a staff member of a Belize City casino, was driving a brown van when the incident occurred. While details remain unconfirmed, it is believed the man may have been en route to make a deposit at Heritage Bank.

Two men on a motorcycle, described as one being stocky and the other slimmer, approached the vehicle. The assailants allegedly reached into the van and seized a black bag, presumed to contain money. They attempted to flee the scene on their motorcycle, but their getaway was thwarted momentarily when they lost control of the cycle near a pedestrian crosswalk. The loud crash of the motorcycle hitting the ground drew the attention of bystanders.

The suspects abandoned the motorcycle and escaped on foot.
