Salesman Charged for Theft Says He was Jacked

Earlier this week, we told you about Belize Refrigeration Limited salesman Dave Burgess wanted by police for stealing $3,253 in sales proceeds form his employee. Well, police found him and he appeared in court today. Burgess, who is an ex policeman, was charged with two counts of theft, for a total of three thousand dollars he was offered and met bail of $2,000.

But he has a different story. He told us he was robbed at gun point in the Buttonwood Bay area and that’s where he lost the money. But police say that they checked up on it and his story didn’t add up – so they proceeded with charges.
