A 34-year-old dou­bles ven­dor of Guaico, Tamana Road, Cu­napo, was at her work­place at J and M Dou­bles on the South­ern Main Road, Coalmine, when she was robbed of her mon­ey.

Re­ports in­di­cate around 10:15 am on Fri­day, the vic­tim was seat­ed at the back of her busi­ness when she ob­served a masked man—de­scribed as short, skin­ny, and dark-skinned in com­plex­ion—armed with a gun walk­ing to­wards her.

The masked man an­nounced a hold up and asked her to pass the mon­ey. She be­came fear­ful for her life and those of her fel­low em­ploy­ees, and she took him to the front of the busi­ness where he pro­ceed­ed to take ap­prox­i­mate­ly $2,800 from the mon­ey draw­er.

She al­so ob­served an­oth­er masked man, with a ri­fle in his hands, run­ning to­wards her. Both men then made their es­cape by run­ning through the kitchen of the house and in­to a forest­ed area to the back.

A re­port was made and po­lice of­fi­cers from the San­gre Grande CID and mem­bers of the East­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force re­spond­ed and con­duct­ed ex­ten­sive en­quiries.

Po­lice found one AK47 Ri­fle to­geth­er with one round of 7.62 am­mu­ni­tion. Al­so, sev­er­al items of cloth­ing were re­trieved by crime scene in­ves­ti­ga­tors.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue.
