Three men entered the store wielding firearms. They demanded the money from the cash register before fleeing in a silver/ black Ford 4×4. One of the owners ran out to get the vehicle’s registration number but one of the suspects pointed a firearm at him and threatened to shoot him. He then fled into the neighbouring store. Two of the men are allegedly wearing black while the third is wearing a red cap.
