And in another robbery of a Chinese business...

While most of us were with family or hanging out with friends on New Year's Eve - a group of men were jacking Chen's Store in San Ignacio.

The store owner reported that around 8:00 that night two men held him up at gunpoint and stole $2,200 dollars and his cellphone. They hopped into a car and drove off but their freedom was short lived because police caught them at a checkpoint.

ACP Joseph Myvette, Head National Crimes Investigation
"Police received a report on the 31st December sometime around 8:30 pm that there was a robbery on Joseph Andrews drive in San Ignacio. Following up on the information police intercepted a vehicle where 3 persons have since been detained and 2 masks were found in the vehicle. These persons remain detained as police investigation into this matter."

All 3 have been detained pending charges.
