Sascha Wil­son

A 47-year-old cashier lost her ve­hi­cle in a rob­bery last evening in Bar­rack­pore.

Po­lice re­port­ed that at 8.10 p.m., the woman was sit­ting in her white Nis­san B-14 near Lakhan’s Bar on Pa­pourie Road when two masked men ap­proached her. Both wore dark cloth­ing and black bal­a­clavas.

One sus­pect an­nounced a rob­bery and pulled Per­sad from the dri­ver’s seat. The men then drove off in her ve­hi­cle.

The car, val­ued at $15,000, al­so con­tained her Nokia cell­phone and $1,200 in cash.

Of­fi­cers from the San Fer­nan­do Crim­i­nal In­ves­ti­ga­tions De­part­ment, led by PC Go­sine, vis­it­ed the scene, in­ter­viewed wit­ness­es and can­vassed the area for CCTV footage, but found none.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
