The robbery occurred at approximately 14:40hrs, and according to Persaud, the men were armed with a high powered weapon, a chopper and a hand gun.
They entered the business place and ordered employees and patrons to lie face down. The cashier was then ordered to hand over all the cash and the men even robbed the patrons of their personal possession. A gun was even placed to the face of one of the employees.
iNews understands that as the gunmen made good their escape, they robbed an elderly woman.
Persaud said he is grateful that no one was hurt and is now contemplating his next step. The entire incident was caught on surveillance cameras.
I think very positively that government should arm every business man in our country
