Armed bandits rob Johnny P Shopping Centre

Armed bandits have pounced on two cashiers at the Johnny P Shopping Centre in South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, robbing them of cash and jewellery, among other items.
Reports are that the bandits entered the business premises at about 08:30h while a 26-year-old female and a 28-year-old male sales representative were on duty.
Reports are that 28-year-old male sales representative exited the Western Union Office, leaving the wooden door open, and went to the front of the supermarket to conduct a transaction for a physically-challenged customer.
According to Police, on his return to the office, he was confronted by one of the suspects, who was armed with a handgun with which he held him at gunpoint.
The suspect, Police said, then ordered the employee to hand over cash and other valuables. Reports are that the man complied and handed over an HP laptop computer valued at $75,000; one iPhone 11 valued at $180,000, a gold ring valued at $112,000, and an undisclosed sum of cash.
Police say the man was then ordered to lie on the ground as the suspect exited the Western Union Office through a wooden door to the supermarket, where he joined his accomplice.
According to the Police, both suspects then exited the supermarket and mounted a white and black XR motorcycle without a number plate, which was parked in front of the supermarket, and made good their escape east of Aubrey Barker Road, South, Ruimveldt.
An alarm was raised after the bandits left, and the Police were summoned. An investigation has been launched.
