A man wearing a long black wig robbed a 49-year-old account developer at gunpoint on Saturday morning as she conducted sales at her business place, Kristy’s Mini Mart, located at St Croix Road, Princes Town.
Investigators said around 10:30 am, the victim, Kristy Harbhajan, was approached by a man dressed in an orange coverall jacket, black jeans, Nike slippers, and a long black wig. The suspect had a firearm.
He announced a robbery, stealing a quantity of assorted cigarettes and $676 in cash, representing the day’s sales.
He then fled on foot into a bushy area opposite the business. Officers from the Princes Town Police District, led by PC Ayers, responded to the incident and searched the nearby area.
They then arrested the suspect. He is expected to be charged with robbery with aggravation and will appear before a Princes Town Magistrate on Monday.
