There has been a wave of armed robberies across the north side of Belize City over the past few days, with business establishments including restaurants and grocery stores being hit by thieves.  On Thursday night, gunmen entered Freetown Drug Store and relieved the proprietor of an undisclosed sum of cash before making good their escape.  The incident, like other cases of armed robberies this week, was also captured on surveillance camera.  Deputy Commissioner of Police Chester Williams addressed the spike in such crimes by reassuring residents and business owners that additional resources will be relocated to that area of the city.
