Two men, one carrying what appeared to be a firearm, burst into the Point Mart store on St John’s Road yesterday afternoon but reportedly left empty-handed.

According to police relations manager Dwayne Caines, two individuals including one male in dark clothing arrived at the premises on a motorcycle at around 12.45pm and entered the store demanding money.

Mr Caines said there were patrons and employees in the store when the incident occurred, but no one was injured.

According to police, the pair drove away in a westerly direction on St John’s Road and then turned to head east on North Shore Road.

An investigation is under way and the public are asked to contact CID on 295-0011 or the Crime Stoppers confidential hotline on 800-8477
