Police say they have a good idea who carried out a daring robbery at a supermarket in May Pen, Clarendon over the weekend.

Commissioner of Police, Major General Antony Anderson, says a quick operation following the robbery has already recovered a sum of cash the police believe was stolen.

The incident happened at a supermarket in the busy town centre shortly after 9 Sunday morning.

The armed thugs reportedly held up and robbed the owners and held one of them hostage. They then confronted the police who responded.

Major General Anderson says the police are following three theories.
One theory suggests the group is also responsible for a spate of robberies in that section of the island.

The Police Commissioner also says the criminals who carried out the daring robbery and abduction were tactically aware.

But, General Anderson says it’s uncertain if they are rogue members of the police force.
