Police never reported it, but on October 28th, four men robbed an electronics store in Corozal Town, making off with 16 iPhones valued at more than $20,000.
Two men entered the establishment, pretending to be interested in cellphone accessories, when suddenly one of them pulled out an object resembling a handgun and ordered the sales assistant onto the floor.
Two more masked and hooded men then stormed in and proceeded to ransack the establishment, snatching all the iPhones they could find. They then fled, and there is surveillance video of a getaway vehicle.
Well, yesterday, Corozal Police formally arrested and charged 20-year-old Jahdey Castillo of Silk Grass Village for the crime of robbery.
If the name sounds familiar, it should. He's the same one caught at the scene of Tuesday's Post Office burglary in Belize City.
Police suspect he may be part of a crime ring that has been terrorizing the east, the south, and the north since June.
