A sales clerk at Bartica was on her way to make a night deposit at a bank on Monday night when two men robbed her, but she raised an alarm and one of them was later caught with the money.

Police reported that the incident happened around 7 pm when the men accosted the woman and snatched the bag. They fled the scene and she raised an alarm, which resulted in public-spirited citizens and the store owner giving chase.

One of the men was apprehended and the bag with cash was recovered while the other man escaped.

The man detained is in police custody and investigations are continuing.
