Police on hunt for GT robbers

(CNS): Detectives from George Town police station are on the hunt for two men and a woman who they say committed an armed robbery on Wednesday night. At about 8pm the victim reported to 911 that he had just been robbed at his home on Eastern Avenue in the vicinity of Payless Autos and the suspects had left on foot. The two men involved were said to be brandishing what appeared to be handguns as the three armed robbers approached the victim outside his home address. The suspects then forced the man back into his residence and demanded he hand over any cash.
