Two Teenagers, One Adult Shot In Foiled Ice Cream Parlour Robbery
Mon, September 1, 2014
Two teenagers and an adult were shot in Friday's failed attempted robbery at the Western Dairy Ice Cream Parlor on Freetown Road. The two 17 year olds were shot - one to the back, and the other to the shoulder when they tried to rob four men who were loading a truck at the back of the building on Heusner Street.

Here's how it happened: at 4:30, four men were riding on bicycles when they pulled up behind Western Dairies on Heusner Street. That's where four men were loading up a cargo truck. Two of them pulled out pistols and ordered the men to lie on the floor. But, very suddenly, the predators became the prey, as someone inside the store opened fire shooting the two teenaged robbers, while their partners in crime dashed off, dropping a small .25 pistol in the process - as well as leaving their bicycles behind. Police found seven 9 millimeter expended shells on the scene, while the robber's .25 pistol had two live rounds.

Both minors were taken to court today, while the adult is in critical but stable condition.

The minors appeared in family court this morning, but we can't show you their pictures because they are minors. They were both charged for robbery and remanded to the Wagner's Youth Facilities at the Belize Central Prison because it was an armed robbery. Their next court date is October 2, 2014.

The third and fourth suspects are adults - the third is in the KHMH under police guard. He remains under guard as well.
