A reward is being offered for information leading to the apprehension of two bandits who robbed the newspaper distribution outlet on Robb Street, two Sundays ago.Two men on motorcycle carted off more than one million dollars representing newspaper sales, then shot vendor, Warren Accra, in the process.Since the incident, the police have made no headway in terms of identifying the perpetrators, a process made difficult since the men were fully masked.Both men reportedly wore full faced helmets, turtleneck jerseys and black jeans. Only their eyes were visible.Although investigators accessed footage from surveillance cameras in the area they could not identify the getaway bike since it bore no licence plate.On the morning of February 1,Ramires Chelsea Jersey UK, around 08:15 hours the men rode up to the scene and placed a gun to the head of the Distribution Manager and relieved him of a bag containing a large amount of cash.One of the newspaper’s sales agents recalled that he was doing his daily operation when two men on a bike rode up on the pavement.He explained that the men stopped next to his colleague’s minibus and demanded the keys to the vehicle while the pillion rider walked up to him, sticking a gun in his face.“He said, ‘give me all the money’ and I give him.
