Capital Cops Make Headway in Heist Investigation
posted (July 19, 2016)

Belmopan police are tonight reporting that they have arrested the main suspects and recovered items stolen in last week Friday’s heist at the income tax office in Belmopan.  As we reported, three armed men wearing camouflage stormed into the office after closing time tied up the police security, and three staffers and helped themselves to 29 thousand dollars in cash from the drawer. They also stole personal monies from the staffers.

Well, police were able to make a fingerprint match and link it to an employee.  It was called an inside job, and this evening we are told that the suspects have been arrested along with stolen items. The operation is still ongoing at this hour and we’ll have more on it tomorrow.
