"The investigation has been intense and we been look all over the city, we had an all-points bulletin and we finally came across a vehicle that fit the description. We also had it positively identified by eyewitnesses so we believe we do have the vehicle."
"It was found at a mechanic shop in the complex area of the St. Martin's Deporres Area of Belize City and apart from that, the rest of it is not information that I can reveal."
In total, the robbers got off with over $10,000. Police have been following a number of leads, after some of the stolen bills turned up at the downtown branch of the Belize bank.
