A Charlestown businessman was shot twice and robbed of $200,000 after four men invaded his premises on Wednesday afternoon.
Police yesterday said that the businessman, David Cameron, 56, of 81 Howes Street, Charlestown, was pounced upon by four unidentified males, two of whom were armed with handguns.
