Second Robbery Attempt at Mo’s Ends in Gunshot and Arrest

In a startling recurrence of criminal activity, Mo’s Supermarket in Corozal Town faced its second armed robbery attempt in less than a month. The latest incident unfolded on Sunday evening when a 20-year-old gunman entered the premises around 7:30 p.m., brandishing a firearm and demanding cash. However, the staff and patrons, undeterred by the threat, courageously resisted the assailant. A struggle ensued, forcing the suspect to flee the scene. Police officers, stationed nearby, swiftly apprehended the individual. During the arrest, the suspect sustained a gunshot wound to the knee. Assistant Superintendent Stacy Smith provided insights into the ongoing investigation, revealing that the suspect had assaulted the merchant and demanded money before the confrontation escalated. This incident follows a similar attempt in October, where employees and shoppers successfully thwarted another armed robbery. The repeated targeting of Mo’s Supermarket has raised concerns about security in the area, prompting calls for enhanced measures to protect businesses and their customers.
