10 tourists were robbed this morning at the Xunantunich Mayan Site outside of San Jose Succotz. It happened at 9:30 as tour guide Hector Bol were leading his guests down from the main temple.
A lone gunman with a shotgun was waiting for them and forced them at gunpoint to another area of the site where three more bandits all armed with machetes were waiting. They then robbed the tourists of jewelry, cash and cameras.
In response, Police and BDF have beefed up patrols in the area and are seeking the assistance of Guatemalan police.
