Two Armed Men Tie Up Workers, Rob 24-Hour Pharmacy in Charlieville
Two armed men robbed a 24-hour pharmacy in Charlieville, Chaguanas, early Wednesday morning after tying up two employees and escaping with cash and the business’s surveillance recorder.
Police said the robbery occurred at The Pharmacy Hub, located at the eastern end of Pierre Road, at approximately 6:05 a.m.
According to reports, the two men entered the pharmacy armed and tied up the two employees who were inside at the time.
The suspects then reportedly searched the business and stole an undisclosed amount of cash.
Before leaving, the men also took the pharmacy’s digital video recorder, or DVR, which is used to store footage captured by the business’s surveillance system.
The suspects then escaped from the area on foot.
After the men left, the two employees managed to free themselves and made their way to a nearby gas station along Pierre Road.
They alerted security personnel at the gas station, and police were subsequently contacted.
Officers from the Chaguanas Police Station responded shortly afterwards and began investir into the incident.
Police investigations are continuing.
