Police arrested a suspect after two robbers held a group of people at gunpoint and stole cash on Saturday afternoon.
According to an RCIPS statement issued Sunday, officers responded around 2pm to a report of an armed robbery outside an address on Kennedy Drive in George Town.
“It was reported that two men approached a group of persons at the location, brandishing a firearm and robbed them of a bag containing cash,” police said.
Following the hold-up, the men fled, one on a bicycle and the other on foot.
One of the suspects was described as wearing a light-coloured long-sleeved shirt, with red shoes and black pants, while the second was wearing dark clothing.
Later that day, officers arrested a 22-year-old man, of George Town, on suspicion of robbery in relation to the incident.
He remained in custody Sunday as investigations continue.
Investigators are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have any information to contact George Town CID at 949-4222, or leave an anonymous tip at the RCIPS confidential tip line at 949-7777, or via its website.
