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.
