Three men charged 6 months after armed robbery

(CNS): Three men were charged last week in connection with an armed robbery at a George Town gas station on 29 March. It was reported at the time that around 10pm, an armed man burst into the Esso station store on Dorcy Drive, fired a shot into the air and demanded cash. The robber then escaped on the back of a motorcycle with another man.
