TWO masked gunmen stormed the Rubis Gas Station at Mahaica, ECD — located a mere five minutes’ drive from the police station at Helena, Mahaica — on Sunday at about 10:30 hrs, and carted-off an undisclosed sum of money and valuables after terrorizing staffers.Staffers at the service station, an agency of Rubis which trades under the name Ramotar Service Station, have said that a heavily-tinted white car pulled up at the outlet, and two masked men emerged and barged into the gas station’s office while another remained in the car. Both armed, the men demanded the valuables that staffers had, while emptying the drawers of the service station.

“They asked for more than what they found, and we handed over change and my phone,” a representative of the gas station told this publication.

The day’s earnings were taken in the process, after which the men calmly walked out of the facility and grabbed valuables from a female pump attendant before fleeing the scene.

No one was harmed during this robbery, but staffers told this publication that the incident caught them off-guard.

Persons in the area have said that the car, which one person partially recalled as having a “PMM” number plate, was seen at least twice circling the area prior to the attack.

Police later visited the scene, and were taking statements from staffers when this publication arrived.
