Today, one of the employees spoke to us off camera, and he explained how the entire incident unfolded:

Voice of: Employee
"Two male persons walk into the spot; one stay at the door - the dark skin male and the red skin male came and say that they wanted an atlas of Belize. When one of the sales clerk got up to get the atlas of Belize - one of the men pull out a black 9mm firearm."

"He ordered the cashier to take out all the money. The next red skin male came at the back and ask for the money. He punches me a couple times and pull out the books that was in a drawer here. He pulled out a bag of undisclosed amount of money from out of this draw here."

"They advance towards the next sales clerk and order he for her phone and her money, but upon searching her, she told him that her money was for her child's school registration, so he take the money from her and threw the money at her."

"He went around the counter and told the cashier to hand over her phone so that they could not call the police. They took the cashier phone and they told us to stay in a corner and shut up mouths or they will shoot all of us. After that they walk outside and gone. When they went I grab the phone and call 911 and pass it to the cashier so she could talk to the police while the sales clerk ran outside to see in which direction they went."

Reporter
"You guys don't know how much money they went with?"

Voice of: Employee
"It's an undisclosed amount of money for the past two day's sales. Probably about over 2-3 thousand dollars in cash."

Reporter
"The store has surveillance cameras right?"

Voice of: Employee
"Yes the store has cameras, but the one inside is not really working. Only the camera from the drugstore outside pick up persons when they come and go outside back."

Reporter
"So you think that police may have possible leads as to how to investigate?"

Voice of: Employee
"Yes because they have the file from the drugstore. Right now as we speak, they are searching for 2 male persons who are from this area. About 5 minutes ago a person came to tell us that they are in a park in such a area in a corner."

"They call the police and they advance over there but upon reaching there they persons ran."

Reporter
"Is this the first time that you have been robbed while being an employee here?"

Voice of: Employee
"Yes sir. "

Up until news time, police still have not announced any arrests in connection with this robbery. As noted in the interview, the face of at least one of the assailants was caught on establishment's outside cameras.
