Two people are in police custody following an alleged armed robbery at Lyons Hill Service Station on Tuesday, November 10.

Reports indicate that at approximately 1:38 p.m., a masked male entered the business and robbed the owner of an undisclosed sum of money. The suspect reportedly fled on foot in an easterly direction. Shots were also reportedly fired during the incident; however, no injuries were reported.

Further investigations into the incident led police officers to Old Road, where they intercepted a white Suzuki Swift motor car with two suspects.

A 30-year-old man of Nut Grove and a 19-year-old woman of Bolans were arrested on suspicion of robbery and taken into police custody. The vehicle was also seized and taken to the police station.

Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police Mr. Everton Jeffers commended the officers for their swift response.

“I must commend the officers whose prompt response and follow-up inquiries led to the arrests in this matter. Our investigations are ongoing, and we encourage anyone with information that may assist the police to come forward.”
