posted (November 6, 2017)
And as we told you earlier, there was robbery of another Indian-owned business operation, which happened this morning. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the thief got away with over 10,000 dollars in cash.

At around 9:26 a.m., 28 year-old Doris Montejo, a frontline Associate at the Western Union Office in Corozal Town, arrived at her office at 4th Avenue. That's along the busy business strip in Corozal Town, and, she was only a few steps away from entering the front door.

She was carrying her purse which contained $10,000 in cash which belongs to her work, $100 in cash which belongs to her, and her Samsung Galaxy cellular phone.

She never made it inside because a man wearing a peak cap approached her and pointed a gun at her. He ordered her to hand over the money, which she did, and he ran away toward the direction of Corozal House of Culture.

Today, Arun Hotchandani shared what information he had on the incident with us:
