"We had a reported robbery on Mahogany Street Extension on 19th February where a 42 year old business man was sitting in his vehicle parked on Mahogany Street Extension area and 2 male persons demanded, they arrived at his vehicle on bicycle and they demanded that he handed over money and personal properties. Fearing for his life, he handed over to them about two thousand dollars in cash and his iPhone 14. Police in that area conducted an immediate search on Mango Street in the Saint Martin's De Porres area where two minors were present at the time of the search. Police were able to recover a black air pistol that they believe was used in the orchestration of that crime and also they were able to confiscate clothing that resemble what was described by the culprits that committed that robbery. Police also recovered about sixteen hundred dollars in cash and they got back the iPhone. We have these persons detained at this time. I am not certain when charges will be levelled against them, but as soon as I know, you will know."
