Orange Walk Town authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation following a brazen armed robbery at a local 24-hour gas station last Friday afternoon. The incident, which involved two female attendants being threatened at gunpoint, was captured in chilling detail by the establishment’s surveillance system.
Security footage reveals two masked individuals arriving on a black scooter, immediately approaching the fuel pumps where the employees were stationed. One assailant brandished a firearm, pressing it directly against the head of one attendant while demanding immediate access to cash reserves.
Under explicit threat of violence, both attendants were compelled to surrender their monetary pouches containing approximately $2,000 in total revenue. The perpetrators, described as slender-built males, subsequently fled the scene on their two-wheeled vehicle heading in an unknown direction.
Police officials confirmed that despite the traumatic nature of the event, neither attendant sustained physical injuries during the confrontation. Investigators are currently examining the CCTV footage and pursuing multiple leads regarding the suspects’ identities and whereabouts. The incident has raised concerns about security protocols at round-the-clock service establishments throughout the region.
