Two peo­ple, ages 75 and 56 years, were robbed while in the Trinci­ty Mall car park in the vicin­i­ty of Tru Valu Su­per­mar­ket on Wednes­day af­ter­noon.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, around 2:45 pm, both vic­tims were ac­cost­ed by a man armed with a firearm who an­nounced a rob­bery. The sus­pect sub­se­quent­ly dealt sev­er­al blows to the head of the 56-year-old man caus­ing in­juries and then re­lieved him of a bag con­tain­ing $600.

The 75-year-old woman was al­so re­lieved of her hand­bag which con­tained $600.

The sus­pect sub­se­quent­ly es­caped in a wait­ing white Toy­ota Axio bear­ing reg­is­tra­tion num­ber PDE 7348 which drove out of the mall com­pound and in an east­er­ly di­rec­tion along the Churchill Roo­sevelt High­way.

Based on in­for­ma­tion re­ceived, PC Nunez and PC Scott found the white Toy­ota Axio aban­doned along Dis­trict Way Cir­cu­lar in the vicin­i­ty of Pop­eye’s Trinci­ty.

The ve­hi­cle was sub­se­quent­ly wrecked to the Arou­ca Po­lice Sta­tion where it was processed by of­fi­cers of the ND­C­SI.
