At 11:00 AM on Friday, December 22nd, three robbers held up the female storeowner inside, while another brought her wash-man, Randy Montero inside at gunpoint.  Eventually they got inside the office and ordered the storeowner’s husband - at gunpoint - to open the safe.  She handed over the key for the safe and they snatched seven thousand dollars in cash.  They then stole a cell phone and the owners 2014 Toyota Tacoma pickup and sped off towards orange walk.  Between the pickup truck, a cell phone and cash, the total theft was valued at fifty thousand dollars.  Police reversed the pickup and are still searching for the other 3 men.
