Two youths are now traumatized after being beaten on Monday night and robbed by two armed robbers at Fox Hill Foot, Half Mile, Wismar, Linden, Division Ten.
Police said two men armed with guns went up to an 18-year-old student and released him from a cellphone worth $ 21,000 and assaulted his friend at about 22:00 only.
According to information released to the media, the student and his friend were sitting on the corner of the street when the robbers approached them, whipping their guns, and insisting they should not move.
The armed robbers then released the student from his cellphone. Instead of handing over his phone to the robbers, the friend threw him into a neighbor’s yard. This upset the thieves who then began beating the youth with their guns.
The men made their escape on foot. Investigations are ongoing.
