Cops hunt gunmen after daring daylight robbery caught on video
CLARENDON, Jamaica – Police say they are yet to hold any of the three men who conducted a brazen daylight robbery at a store in Spaldings, Clarendon on Monday.
The dramatic incident, which was caught on video and has since gone viral, occurred in full view of two young children who walked among the gunmen during the robbery.
OBSERVER ONLINE understands that three cellular phones and $400,000 were among the things taken during the robbery. The police say they are trying to ID the three men, two of whom were armed with handguns.
In the video, the three men walked into the supermarket one behind the other before one pulled a firearm and ushered two men, one of who was a security guard, to one side.
Another of the men, who wore an orange shirt, also pulled a firearm. A little girl who was on a mobile phone walked out of the store despite the efforts of the gunman at the entrance to stop her.
She stood outside and looked up the street as the men proceeded to rob the store. A toddler was headed for the entrance and was stopped by another of the gunmen who turned him back. That child stood among them as they continued their robbery.
A cashier looked around and saw the gunmen and turned back around, and held her hands up. She was unable to cash a woman who came to check out some items and put them on the counter. The video ended shortly after.
