Pump attendants arrested for allegedly staging robbery at service station

Two female pump attendants attached to a service station at Meten-Meer-Zorg on the West Coast of Demerara were arrested, and were expected to be charged with robbery that was committed on Wednesday evening.
According to Police, about 19:17h on the day in question, there was a power outage in the area which lasted for about five minutes. During that time, the women claimed that a male rode up on a bicycle and relieved them of cash and other valuables.
