(REAL News) — Masked gun-toting robbers continue to keep citizens and residents of this country in fear of their lives and possessions.
The most recent reports of robberies occurred on Sunday, November 19 – after two similar incidents were reported on Friday, November 17.
It is alleged that a 68-year-old man, the proprietor of the Pond View Superette in Old Road, was the victim of robbers who assaulted him and took his cash pan.
He reported the incident, which took place at about 4:30 a.m., to the Johnsons Point Police Station.

Allegedly, the man and his wife had gone to open their shop and, while in the process, they saw an unknown man push open the shop door, which had been closed but not locked.
The intruder, who is described as about 6’4” in height, is of a slim build and a brown complexion and was dressed in a pair of black pants and a red hoodie at the time.
He reportedly pointed what appeared to be a black-handled handgun with a spin barrel at them and asked, “Where’s the money?”
The shop owner then grabbed onto the assailant’s hand and tried to wrestle the gun away from him.
Further reports are that, at this point, another man entered the shop and hit the owner on the back of the head with a gun; and, as a result, the victim surrendered.
The other assailant is described as being 5’4” in height, bow-legged, brown in complexion, and was wearing dark-coloured clothing.

After the assailants demanded money, the man’s wife reportedly told them that it was in the car and then began to scream.
Reports say the robbers subsequently took the cash pan, containing $300, and an undisclosed sum of coins from a cash register at the shop’s entrance.
The duo then fled in an eastern direction, in a silver car that had been parked in close proximity to the shop.
A search was carried out in the surrounding areas for the assailants and the stolen money but without success.
