Massy Stores has is­sued a state­ment on the kid­nap­ping of one of their work­ers and rob­bery at their Massy Su­per Cen­tre in La Ro­maine on Fri­day night.  Po­lice killed one of the sus­pects dur­ing an ex­change of gun­fire and ar­rest­ed two oth­ers.  

 The fol­low­ing is the state­ment:  

Massy Stores con­firms that an in­ci­dent oc­curred at our Gulf View lo­ca­tion last night and the mat­ter is cur­rent­ly the fo­cus of a po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion.    

 Safe­ty of our em­ploy­ees is a pri­or­i­ty for Massy Stores. The com­pa­ny con­tin­ues to im­ple­ment ex­ten­sive safe­ty mea­sures to pro­tect em­ploy­ees, cus­tomers and all per­sons who vis­it our lo­ca­tions across the coun­try. These mea­sures are con­sis­tent­ly re­viewed and up­dat­ed.    

Massy Stores is col­lab­o­rat­ing close­ly with the nec­es­sary stake­hold­ers, in par­tic­u­lar the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) as well as our pri­vate se­cu­ri­ty part­ners.   

The com­pa­ny wish­es to rec­og­nize the work of TTPS in tak­ing quick ac­tion which re­sult­ed in the cap­ture of some of the in­di­vid­u­als who were in­volved in the crim­i­nal ac­tiv­i­ty which tran­spired last night.
