One man is cur­rent­ly de­tained and as­sist­ing po­lice with their in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to a rob­bery in Port-of-Spain yes­ter­day.

Cen­tral Po­lice Sta­tion of­fi­cers re­ceived a re­port of a rob­bery at a whole­sale es­tab­lish­ment on Hen­ry Street, Port-of-Spain.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port a 60-year-old pro­pri­etor was open for busi­ness when three men en­tered the es­tab­lish­ment, one was armed with a gun and an­nounced a rob­bery.

The man was al­leged­ly beat­en and re­lieved of $8000 cash.

Of­fi­cers of the In­ter-Agency Task Force were on mo­bile pa­trol and re­spond­ed to the rob­bery re­port at the es­tab­lish­ment.

Up­on ar­rival two of the sus­pects fled with the cash, and the third sus­pect was found hid­ing on the premis­es.

He was cau­tioned and tak­en to the sta­tion pend­ing fur­ther in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

The pro­pri­etor was tak­en for med­ical treat­ment.

Po­lice say the ar­rest of the oth­er men is im­mi­nent.
