At about 10:00 p.m. on Thursday (Oct. 6), while an employee was about to open the door to the establishment to commence production for the next day, a gun was placed to his head and he was ordered not to move.
According to the proprietor, Roger Fraites, who recounted to Freedom FM what took place on that night, two armed bandits had entered the establishment with the employee and they broke into an office from where they had removed an undisclosed sum of cash.
