Police seek missing witness during robbery enquiry

No arrests have been made in connection with this enquiry to date but the officer in charge said police are keen to speak to the customer as they believe he may have information that could help the enquiry.

Detective Constable Karen McQuade said the man was served by staff just before the robbery took place. “This customer may have information which could be vital to the enquiry”, said DC McQuade. “He was still within the premises when the robbery took place but left the scene before officers could make contact with him. He is described as having a black complexion and being of large build. He had dread lock hair and was wearing lilac-light blue shirt ¾ length denim shorts and work boots.

This information was given to police but no cofirmation has been received if these leads were followed up by police!!!!
Pleas come forward and tell what you know. If you don't you or a love one could be the next victim and then you would wish that some one will come forward.
Em….good luck with that RCIP! Who do you think wants to risk getting capped???
The RCIP is incompetent enough as it is so you can’t rely on them for any protection. Hear no evil…see no evil!
