Po­lice are search­ing for two gun­men who shot a Chi­nese busi­ness­man and stole $230,000 dur­ing a rob­bery in the carpark of C3 Shop­ping Cen­tre in San Fer­nan­do on Fri­day night.

Shi Yyan, 46, of Pouchet Street, San Fer­nan­do, was leav­ing his busi­ness, Soft Steps, at 7.45 pm, when two thieves con­front­ed him as he ap­proached his white pan­el van parked in the east­ern car park.

The as­sailants, de­scribed as be­ing about six feet tall with dark com­plex­ions, blocked his path. One of them point­ed a firearm at Yyan and de­mand­ed mon­ey. Fear­ing for his life, he hand­ed over the keys to his van and $230,000 in cash, which he had col­lect­ed from the day’s sales and rent from ten­ants.
