Two gunmen around 02:30 hrs yesterday escaped with $1M in cash when they invaded a home and grocery shop at Lot 250 Independence Boulevard, Albouystown.
According to Lavern Howard, two armed men gained entry into her home and immediately started demanding cash and other valuables after waking them from their sleep.
Yesterday’s robbery was the second since Howard and her husband, Vincent, had been operating the grocery shop for the past 16 years.
The woman said that when the bandits entered the house, her 22-year-old daughter started screaming upon seeing them. They taped her mouth to keep her quiet.
After they got their hands on the cash and a quantity of phone cards, they fired a shot in the air before escaping.
The matter is being investigated by ranks at the Ruimveldt Police Station.
