Ramon's Esso Robbed of $14,000

Meanwhile an armed bandit met no such resistance when he pulled off broad daylight armed robbery at Ramon's Esso Service Station on the Northern Highway. Around 1 in the afternoon on Monday, the station's owner Ramon Gongora was getting into his SUV to head down to Belize city to make a cash deposit at the bank when a white car pulled up in front of him. A man wearing a ski mask and brandishing a gun emerged and smashed Gongora's window. The robber then grabbed Gongora's moneybag containing $14,000 and sped off. Police have not arrested anyone.
