Two masked armed bandits robbed Basmattie Mangru known as Anna of a ‘box hand’, and the day’s sales on Tuesday while she was vending along the   Alness Village  Public Road.  

It was while she was attending to a customer at around 7.50 pm that she heard the sound of three gunshots.

“I turned, I saw a masked man standing next to me. My bag was hanging, He took it, and was trying to rip off my apron.  But I loose the apron and I gave him. He had  pressed the gun to my side but did not fire it. They took over $70,000 and other change monies”, she said.
