Movi­eTowne own­er Derek Chin has urged the pub­lic to ex­er­cise cau­tion fol­low­ing a rob­bery out­side PriceS­mart yes­ter­day, which he said ex­posed gaps in the store’s se­cu­ri­ty.

Chin ex­plained that yes­ter­day af­ter­noon two armed men tar­get­ed a woman who was walk­ing to­ward PriceS­mart. “They caught the girl. The se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cers came and helped be­cause they tried to steal the car and take her keys,” he said. “There was an al­ter­ca­tion, but they jumped in the car and ran away, tak­ing her mon­ey."

He said the woman was hurt, but does not think the in­jury was se­ri­ous.
