If You Know Something Say Something: Watch Robbery At BJ’s Supermarket
Yesterday, there was another robbery at Bj’s supermarket in Bathlodge, and local residents are increasingly concerned about the safety of staff at Superettes, which operates on the outskirts of the country.
In a recent incident captured on video, two individuals, their faces concealed with cloth, entered the supermarket and immediately approached the cash register, distressing the store attendant.
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred, and the community is urgently calling for enhanced security measures to be implemented.
Meanhwhile, the police are searching for two male suspects involved in a supermarket robbery on Bendals road.
It was reported that around 8 pm on Thursday, 20 June, two men with their faces concealed and armed with firearms, entered the supermarket and robbed the owners of an undisclosed amount of money.
Shots were fired during the incident; however, no one was injured. The suspects later fled the scene in a southern direction.
The police are appealing to anyone who may have seen any suspicious person or have any information surrounding this incident to contact the Criminal Investigations Department at 462-3913 or call Crimestoppers at 800-Tips (8477).
The police are further advising business owners to exercise extra caution, especially during the closing hours of their businesses.
