DITE AND RUN

THE owner of a takeaway joint in Kenilworth survived a robbery at gunpoint after three skollies left with cash and kos.

Video footage shows how one suspect roaming around Khan’s Foods 4U around closer time, when another pulled a firearm and while a third was standing at the entrance and threw an employee on the ground.

Owner Irshad Khan told the Daily Voice that when the suspects entered the store on Saturday, they hit him over his head after attacking an employee. 

However, he says he was not violently attacked.

Khan explained: “They stole a cellphone and some money, but I am not sure how much because we just closed the shop and I didn’t do cash up yet. So I don’t even know how much I really made.

“They also had one gun that just makes a noise, like a fake gun just to makes people scared. They took some more stuff from the shop, my mind is not right

“It was not a nice feeling, because it's not nice when someone puts a gun to your head, but I am fine, no one was shot. Thank you to God that no one was shot.”

Police spokesperson Sergeant Wesley Twigg said Claremont police registered a business robbery case for investigation after the incident occurred around 20:30.

Twigg reports: “According to reports three unknown suspects entered the business premises, pointed the victim with a firearm and robbed the store of an undisclosed amount of cash and personal belongings before fleeing the scene.”
