Payroll clerk held up in Mt Hololo — ...we tried to warn them, says cops

TWO gunmen stormed a construction site in Cascade yesterday and made off with over $18,000 after holding up a payroll clerk and a worker, police said. Police sources told Newsday that around 12.05 pm, the two armed men walked into the construction site situated at 8, Mount Hololo Road.  One of the men is reported to have announced a hold-up after which they robbed San Juan resident Carl Anderson, an employee, of $810. The other assailant, police sources said, then entered a room on the job site where the payroll clerk Raffick Mohammed, of Enterprise, was robbed of $17,517.47, which was supposed to pay employees. The men then left the scene on foot.  A report was made and a party of officers from the Belmont Police Station under Sgt Patterson and including PCs Honore and Marshall visited the scene and conducted investigations. Police said the officers made a search of the area for the two assailants but their efforts were futile. Belmont police also said that they have repeatedly advised the employers to come to the police station compound to pay their employees or request police supervision. No arrest had been made up to late evening and PC Marshall is continuing investigations.
