Brazen Daylight Robbery Near Police Checkpoint

A bold, broad-daylight robbery in Belize City has left many stunned, not just for how it happened, but where. Just a stone’s throw from a police checkpoint on Vernon Street, two men on a motorcycle pulled off a daring heist at a busy intersection. As traffic waited at the light near Central American Boulevard, one of the men, his face hidden by a helmet, jumped off the bike, walked up to a car, and robbed the driver and passenger at gunpoint. The target? A shoebox. What was inside remains a mystery. But what’s clear is that the entire incident was caught on camera, and the suspects sped off down Vernon Street before police could respond.
