In the second incident, police are hunting three suspects after an armed robbery at about 11pm. The three men approached the victim as she sat in her vehicle outside a business on East Street and Deveaux Street and, after two brandished firearms, robbed her of her gold Toyota Passo, licence AZ5314.
