In a bold daylight robbery, over $20,000 was stolen from the Belize Marketing Board in Orange Walk on November 7, 2025. The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. when a masked man, dressed in a grey hoodie, entered the office premises through the main gate. Armed with a weapon, he confronted the female security guard and proceeded to the cashier, where he seized a bag containing a substantial amount of money. The perpetrator fled the scene on a motorcycle, aided by an accomplice. Police were promptly called, but the suspects had already escaped. Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith provided details on the ongoing investigation, noting that video footage from the scene is being reviewed to aid in identifying the culprits. Smith also highlighted a seasonal increase in property crimes during the holiday period, urging the public to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to safeguard their belongings.
