“One of the men was wearing blue gloves, possibly in an effort to prevent any DNA from being found.

“This perhaps indicates that the man has done this before and would have no hesitation in doing it again. I would ask anyone who has any information regarding the suspects of the incident to contact us.

“Your information could be that vital link which could assist us in tracing the men responsible.”

Anyone with information is asked to call officers at the Robbery Unit in Helen Street via 101.
