Reported Robbery at Sandys Laundromat

Mon, 2017-02-13

Around 1:45pm on Saturday, February 11th police officers responded to a reported robbery at Sandys Laundromat on Somerset Road in Sandys parish.

It appears that an unknown male culprit entered the business brandishing a bladed article.

Apparently the suspect then escaped with cash and jewellery taken from the 84 year old male proprietor and a 27 year old male customer that were on the premises at the time.

However, neither man was injured.

Inquiries continue and witnesses or anyone who may have seen a 5’8” tall man of average build wearing dark coloured clothing and shoes acting suspiciously near the Sandys Laundromat around 1:45pm Saturday should contact the Criminal Investigation Department on 247-1744.
