He was speaking this afternoon with Nationwide News.
And residents of May Pen, Clarendon are still on edge following the robbery.
The incident happened at a supermarket in the busy town center shortly after 9 yesterday morning.
The armed thugs reportedly held up and robbed the owners and held one of them hostage.
They then confronted the police who responded.
Nationwide News visited the area today, but several persons refused to speak saying they feared for their lives.
One of the managers of the Chinese operated supermarket spoke to us but refused to go on record.
She says she’s still traumatized by the event and hope the Police catch those responsible, so they won’t return to harm her family again.
One May Pen resident, Tracey, says the Police needed help from the military to respond to yesterday’s incident.
