A 39-year-old man was arrested minutes after he beat a store clerk and robbed a Sangre Grande businessplace on Wednesday afternoon.

Police said the bandit walked into the wholesale and retail business on the Eastern Main Road, at around 3 pm and pointed a cutlass at her, demanding her cell phone and money from the cash register of the fruit stall.

The bandit stole $2000 from the cash register, which accounted for the days’ sales, before demanding a key for the vault.
