Three unknown armed suspects robbed a business in Delhi Road on the evening of Tuesday, May 25. The robbers ordered the staff to lie on the ground, with guns to their heads.

The business owner was taken by one of  the suspects to his office at gunpoint and was forced to open the safe where all the money was kept. The suspects cleared out the safe, and an undisclosed sum of money was stolen.
