At 8:45 two men slipped behind the steel door at Payless Store on Administration Drive in the Lake Independence Area. The door is usually kept locked but the proprietor had opened it for crates of chicken to be delivered.

That's when the gunmen got in - fired two shots which sent customers running into the street. The storeowner did not resist and they helped themselves to the cash pan which was wrapped in a plastic bag.

They left on bicycles and were seen riding down the street with a silver pistol.

They threw a cloth on nearby Miller street and residents say one of them was also seen changing his shirt. They split up and rode off in different directions.

Police processed the crime scene but have not detained any suspects. Both were described to us as grown men - one of them with dreadlocks.

In more disturbing robbery - a businessman was waylaid and robbed a hundred thousand dollars at his home on Sunday. Vinod Chawla the owner of RC imports told police that he pulled up at his home on Amara Avenue where three men pounced on him as he got out of his vehicle.
