Three
armed men on Tuesday night
robbed a recently opened
Internet Café on Forshaw
Street of money, all of its
computers and relieved the
owner of other items before
escaping.
Robbed
of $11,000, four
laptops
The
proprietor of D&T Modern
Internet Café, Dillon
Pile is counting his losses
after he was robbed of
$11,000, four laptops, one
Sony digital camera, his
Nokia cellular phone and a
gold band.
Stolen:
Sony digital camera, Nokia
cellular phone and a
gold band.
Recounting
what took place Pile said
that at about 9:35 pm on
Tuesday while he was behind
his counter, the three men
walked in and drew
a .38 pistol,
pointed it at him and
demanded money.
At
the time his twelve-year-old
brother and a customer were
browsing the net and the men
took away a gold band from
his brother. Pile stated
that two of the men carried
weapons and they placed all
the laptops into a salt bag
and walked out of the café.
A man, he said, went into
the cafe just as the bandits
were about to leave and did
not realize what had just
taken place. After the
bandits left he told the
customer what had transpired
and he and the man went
after the bandits in a car.
He
also alerted his relatives
about the robbery before
going after the men. He
added that the men just
simply disappeared because
when they turned the corner
they were nowhere in sight.
He made a report at the
Alberttown police station
and investigations are
continuing.
Pile
told this newspaper that
he opened the net café
just about a month and a
half ago and that he will
now have to start all over
since the men took all the
laptops at his business
place.
