BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - AT approximately 12:30 p.m. today (August 3), a lone partly-masked gunman robbed the TDC Drinks Depot in Nevis of an undisclosed sum of money.
Information reaching this publication states that the gunman entered the Drinks Depot through a service door at the back of the building after scaling the fence.
Speaking with one of TDC's Executive Directors, Earnie France, he confirmed the robbery stating that the man had confronted the cashier at gunpoint and demanded all of the money in their vault.
He said that the cashier complied, went to the vault and gave the bandit the money with which he made good his escape.
