A Police statement issued Friday morning said police received a report of an armed robbery in progress at close to 9:00 am Wednesday (September 16) and officers from the Frigate Bay Police Station and members of the Special Forces Unit intercepted a motorcar which was occupied by the suspects who were all wearing masks, bulletproof vests, gloves, and sunglasses.
Investigations so far have revealed that a number of men had entered two apartments and robbed the residents at gunpoint.
They stole a number of items and attempted to flee the scene in a motorcar.
Further investigations also revealed that the private license plate on the vehicle was fake and was used to cover the actual license plate of the vehicle which was a rental plate.
