In last night’s newscast we told you about the armed robbery at Mirab’s
Furniture at mile one on the Western Highway. Police have released scant details
reporting that at 2:45 on Wednesday a brown skinned male entered pointed a pistol
at the manager and demanded money. She handed over an undisclosed amount of
cash and he rode off on bicycle. And here’s where it gets interesting.
We were initially informed that as he fled he shot at this Isuzu Rodeo in the
parking lot.
Well, that’s only part of the story. Police report that a Justice of
the Peace who was shopping followed the gunman. Seeing that he was being pursued,
the robber fired several shots – damaging the Rodeo. Police say they have
detained tow persons pending investigation.
