PURSE SNATCHER CAUGHT BY SHOPPERS

December 28, 2007

One person has been detained by police in Belize City following a robbery at Nicole’s Store on Cemetery Road. A resident of Vista Del Mar reported to police that she was at Nicole’s Store when a male person grabbed a green floral purse she was carrying. The victim struggled with the man but he managed to escape and did not get far as he was caught by some other shoppers that were in the area. The man was handed over to police suffering from some bruises that he apparently sustained while trying to escape. He remains in police custody pending charges of theft.
