To­ba­go po­lice of­fi­cers are still search­ing for a group of men who bru­tal­ly at­tacked three su­per­mar­ket work­ers while they were asleep and made off with thou­sands of dol­lars in cash dur­ing a rob­bery ear­ly Mon­day morn­ing in Scar­bor­ough.

The in­ci­dent hap­pened around 2 am at Eday Su­per­mar­ket, lo­cat­ed on Wil­son Road in down­town Scar­bor­ough. The su­per­mar­ket own­er, Lil­iong Zou, told po­lice that three of his em­ploy­ees—Jin­hai Zheng, 20, and Yax­i­an Zheng and Wen­zhong Chen, both 49—were asleep up­stairs when they were star­tled by loud bang­ing on the su­per­mar­ket’s door.

Po­lice said about sev­en men, all armed with knives, forced their way in­to the build­ing through a win­dow on the west­ern side. The sus­pects de­mand­ed cash and be­gan at­tack­ing the em­ploy­ees, chop­ping them sev­er­al times on their bod­ies.
