Do you know these men? The police are said to be searching for these two individuals who reportedly robbed a number of stores, last Sunday morning.

Bandits targeted at least three Chinese stores last Sunday morning, escaping with hundreds of thousands of dollars. The store owners said that two “motorcycle bandits” arrived at their establishments between 08:30hrs to 09:00hrs.
There were several Cuban nationals shopping in one store near the Regent and Albert Streets intersection. The men came in and held a Chinese worker and his employer at gunpoint. They were handed cash from the store, which deals in clothes and other related items.
Video footage from nearby store showed at least four persons, said to be Cubans, fleeing from the store with two bandits, unmasked, hurrying out behind them and escaping on a motorcycle. One of the customers in the store was robbed. One of the bandits was wearing a floppy hat.
It is believed that these were the same men who raided at least three other Chinese stores and another owned by an Indian national, nearer to the Bourda area.
It is also believed that the same men robbed a Chinese business over the river, in the Goed Fortuin area.
Owners of the businesses were afraid to talk to this publication about what had occurred, fearing retaliation. The matter has been reported to the police.
Investigations are continuing.
