At the beginning of the New Year, on January 3, a business robbery was reported when three men targeted a PEP Store in the Central Business District.
It was reported that one of the employees were cashing up and were just about to close the store, when an armed man and two others rounded up the staff and ordered them into the back of the store, while they emptied the tills.
Residents are urged to report burglaries and robberies to help police catch the culprits.
