And while BDF soldiers fend off Guatemalan incursions, police officers are still trying to fight crime in Belize City. But robbers seem to be getting more brazen, attacking in broad daylight.

Today, a man's gun was stolen just after midday. 59-year-old Mauro Bevans told police that while he was at the corner of Orange Street and Duck Lane, he was approached by two men on bicycles. One of them pushed him against a wall and pressed a firearm to the left side of his neck while the other took his licensed.9mm pistol from where he had it tucked in the waist of his pants. The firearm was loaded with seventeen.9mm live ammunition in the magazine and is valued at $2,900.
