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.
