The robbery occurred around 00:45hrs this morning when three males, one armed with a handgun stormed the “Wild Caught Fresh Fish Depot” at the Meadow Bank Wharf at Ruimveldt, held the Supervisor, Shane Robin, at gun-point and carted off with a camera, a DVR, a radio set and other articles.

It keeps happening over and over again,” declared a frustrated kevin Jettoo.
