SHANE SU­PERVILLE

Se­nior Re­porter

Po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the rob­bery of a St James fur­ni­ture store that oc­curred on Fri­day morn­ing.

Po­lice said the store's man­ag­er re­port­ed that he was at the counter when a ban­dit walked in­to the busi­ness place at around 11:15 am and pulled out a gun.

The ban­dit de­mand­ed cash as the man­ag­er hand­ed over $2,000 from the cash reg­is­ter and $36,835 that was kept in an en­ve­lope un­der the counter.

The ban­dit then walked out the door and es­caped.

Of­fi­cers of the St James CID and the West­ern Di­vi­sion Op­er­a­tions Cen­tre are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.
