Po­lice ex­pect to ques­tion and charge a 58-year-old Ch­agua­nas man who at­tempt­ed to rob two su­per­mar­ket em­ploy­ees at knife­point in Kel­ly Vil­lage on Fri­day night.

They said the su­per­vi­sor and pack­er were lock­ing up the busi­ness place on Ca­roni South Bank Road at 7.55 pm when a man hold­ing a knife con­front­ed them and de­mand­ed their valu­ables.

Both work­ers called for help while the 22-year-old pack­er strug­gled with the ban­dit.

A near­by se­cu­ri­ty guard in­ter­vened and helped sub­due the man as he tried to es­cape.

Po­lice took the sus­pect to the Ca­roni Po­lice Sta­tion, where he re­mained up to Sat­ur­day morn­ing.
