It happened at about 7:30 pm while customers were making various purchases when the group of gunmen arrived and held up the cashiers.
Three of the robbers escaped but one was not so lucky; he was shot in the buttocks and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he underwent a surgical operation but however, managed to escape while under police guard at the institution on Tuesday.
