Police are searching for armed robbers following a string of incidents over the long weekend.

The first occurred on Friday, 7 Nov., just after 2pm, when two men, one armed with what appeared to be a handgun, attempted to rob a business on Commercial Way in George Town.

The staff member on duty escaped to a secure room and the pair fled empty-handed.

Police responded to a similar incident at a business on Kennedy Drive, George Town shortly afterwards, where two men, one with what appeared to be a handgun, robbed the occupants of cash.

It was also reported that the suspects attempted to rob a member of the public who was walking along Kennedy Drive near the business before leaving on a motorcycle.
