Philipsburg:---On Sunday, morning at around 9:30 am., a dark skinned young man, wearing black clothing and a helmet covering his face, entered "Suki Supermarket" on the Long-wall Road, brandishing a small black handgun and demanding money from the cashier who he called by her name. He told her to open the cash registry and give up all the money that was in the registry. After opening the cash registry the cashier and owner ran away and locked herself up in the toilet. When she thought that the armed man had left her business place she came out and called the police. The armed robber had another accomplice waiting outside the supermarket on a scooter. A customer who was in the supermarket at the time of the robbery was also robbed of his belongings. The bandits escaped with over $ 400.
