This morning at around 9:00 am - a Credit union was robbed in the Southern Stann Creek District. It is a very unusual crime for that area - and made more so - because the robbers appeared to be organized, efficient and well-armed.
Well, right that they should have because they were law enforcement personnel!
Police have confirmed that a soldier and three policemen were caught shortly after they robbed Toledo Eastern Credit Union in Bella Vista Village.
The police press officer outlined the very bare details for us:..
Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood - Police Press Officer
"Early this morning we had a robbery at the Toledo Eastern Credit Union in the Bella Vista village in South Stann Creek. The quick police response led to the apprehension of 4 persons and the recovery of almost all the money that was stolen from this credit union."
Since then 7news has learned that three police officers two posted in the city and one assigned to an the special unit along with a BDF soldier were the ones caught.
They were found with an M-4 Carbine which was reportedly used in the commission of the robbery. That is a specialized machine gun assigned to one of the law enforcement units. .
We'll have more on this story tomorrow.
