10 year sentence for cold store robbers
Two men who robbed a cold store pointing a gun and a knife at the cashier were jailed for ten years each.
The duo raided the property in broad daylight on May 17 last year when an Asian cashier was on duty.
The latter stated there were three attackers, but only two of them have been nabbed so far.
“Three masked men barged into the cold store at about 3pm. One of them locked the door from inside so that no one could enter.
They put me in a chokehold and screamed at me demanding money,” the Asian victim said in his statement.
“Then one of them put a knife on my neck, while another pointed a pistol at me and threatened he would pull the trigger if I don’t hand over money,” he explained.
Despite this, the accused could only manage to get BD60 before escaping.
Only two men involved in the incident were identified in police investigation. They were charged with armed robbery.
