$20,000 Heist at Dangriga Airstrip
posted (October 26, 2009)

A Dangriga business was robbed of a large quantity of cash over the weekend. Yesterday afternoon, 58 year old Chinese Businessman Xineng Chen was inside the Maya Island Air terminal waiting for a flight when three men entered – and held him up at gunpoint. They must have known he was carrying cash because they robbed him of a package containing twenty thousand Belize dollars.

And for those of you who haven’t been there, we should note that the Dangriga airstrip is a ways outside the center of town in a not too populated area – and not the kind of place that you’d expect three criminals to be randomly roaming. Police have not reported any arrests.
