A 37-year-old business woman of Linden was robbed by two bandits who stormed the supermarket she owns, on Monday.

According to police reports, the incident occurred around 18:52 hours, while the woman was behind the counter of the supermarket located in Central Amelia’s Ward.

“The two perpetrators – armed with guns – went into the premises demanding she hand over cash. She raised an alarm and ran and the perpetrators then went behind the counter and collected two carton boxes with cash and documents, and made good their escape,” police said.

Further, a man who heard the commotion, went to the businesswoman’s aid and drove behind the suspects who were on foot and managed to hit one of them. The bandit stumbled after being hit, but he managed to get up and flee the scene.

Police said that they recovered a box containing some documents and one .38 revolver containing two suspected live 9MM ammunition and three .38 empty casings. The area is being searched for the two suspects as investigations continue.
