Police last night began probing into an armed robbery at TJ’s One Stop in Bendals.
It is alleged that three masked bandits barged into the establishment and stole the cash register.
Eyewitnesses who were in the vicinity explained the men, who were dressed in dark clothing entered the neighborhood shop and held the cashier at gunpoint.
They then fired a number of gunshots into the air, sending people in the area scampering for cover, before escaping in a waiting vehicle.
No injury was reported in the incident. Police confirmed and recovered spent shells at the scene as they carried out their investigations.
The owner of the shop says no more than 500 dollars was inside the cash register at the time.
