"Before 7 there was a robbery at CP gas located on the Phillip Goldson Highway. The owner of the establishment reported that he was inside of the establishment conducting his daily business when 2 male persons entered the building, one of them had a hoodie and he proceeded inside of the shop looking at the stall wanting to buy something from inside whilst the other one followed him. When the other one arrived near the counter, he pulled out a firearm from his pocket and pointed it at the owners head and demanded for him to hand over the cash. The other male person he went over to the counter and took a bag containing an undisclosed amount of cash that was under the counter. There after the 2 male persons made good their escape on bicycle on Captain Eily Street."

As we have reported, in July, one of the owners fought off two robbers and scared them off - taking a beating in the process. Police will also review the surveillance footage from the station in this latest case.
