Andrews Supermarket robbed, thieves escape with undisclosed sum of cash

Andrews Supermarket, located at Lot 44-45 Robb and Light Streets, Georgetown, was robbed between 22:00hrs on Tuesday and 07:45hrs on Wednesday.
The perpetrators reportedly escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash, after breaking into the building and ransacking multiple sections, including the MoneyGram office.

Police said the supermarket is housed in a four-storey concrete structure situated in an unfenced compound. The first floor accommodates the supermarket, which is secured by a double glass door, zinc shutters, and padlocks. The second flat contains the MoneyGram and manager’s offices, while the third and fourth storeys are used for storage and are secured by internal metal doors with locks. On the lower eastern side of the building is a storage bond with a double metal door that is secured by padlocks and internal bolts.
According to the 34-year-old store manager, he was the last person to leave the building, at around 22:00hrs on Tuesday. He said he had secured all entrances before going home; but when he returned to the building at around 07:45hrs on Wednesday, he discovered that the storage bond door on the lower flat had been opened.
The manager said further checks revealed that the roof above the bond had been cut open, and upon inspecting the building, he found that cash registers in the supermarket were damaged, and an undisclosed amount of cash had been removed.
He told police he made further checks on the second floor and discovered that the MoneyGram office had been ransacked. Two metal safes containing an undisclosed sum of cash were also missing.
Notably, no security guards were stationed at the supermarket at the time of the incident.
Several persons in the area have been questioned as investigations continue.
