Capital Cops Caught Phone Snatcher
Mon, February 19, 2018
The Belmopan neighborhood watch got militant last week Thursday when a robber tried to snatch a phone from a 22 year old male. Around 10:00 that night, he was walking alone on the walkway, but at Independence park two men ran up on him and tried to wrest away his phone. The 22 year old fought back and was assisted by one of the City's Neighborhood Watch members.

The police were called and two patrol teams raced to the area to catch the culprits. The cops were able to capture one of the suspects shortly after - and they also tracked down the other one.

Both Ty Martinez, and 18 year old from Mahogany Heights, and a 17 year old minor were charged with attempted robbery. Both were granted bail of $3,000 dollars and the case was adjourned for April ninth.

In other news from Belmopan- reports say police there have found an SUV that was stolen from Guatemala - but fraudulently licensed in Belize. Reports say it could be linked to a law enforcement officer.
