Armed robbers also terrorized a business in the Corozal district. It happened yesterday afternoon at 4:30 when men who had shirts pulled over their faces, held up Aurora's Store, popularly known as Reyes Store, in Xaibe Village.
They met three females - including a 15 year old minor - tending the family owned business - along with two female customers, one a senior citizen, the other a child.
The young male robbers weren't fazed, and pulled weapons on the cashier, demanding cash.
They helped themselves to a thousand dollars and a cell phone from one of the customers, and then fled on bicycle, heading towards the Phillip Goldson highway.
But Police responded quickly and villagers helped them to find a young man hiding in one of the cane fields. He was found with the stolen cellular phone in his pocket. He also led the Police to a fake firearm which he claims to have used in the robbery.
Current information is that police have arrested three others but have not recovered any money. Police are looking for a fifth person who may be holding the stolen cash.
