The Guanoboa Vale police in St Catherine are investigating a robbery at a gas station in Byles, Kitson Town, on Tuesday night.

It is reported that at about 10:04 p.m., a black Subaru motor car drove up to the gas station and pulled up to a pump.

The driver instructed the attendant to fill the tank.

While the vehicle was being served, a man in the back seat—his face covered with a black shirt—pointed a gun at the attendant and demanded the money in his possession.

The attendant reportedly handed over $13,000.

He was also ordered to fill the car’s tank, which amounted to $8,200.

The vehicle then sped away.

The matter was reported to the police, and an investigation has been launched.
