NCD police are investigating the robbery that took place yesterday at Big Rooster inside the ANZ compound at Waigani.
According to security staff, five men armed with three pistols went into the Big Rooster outlet, held up the staff and took at least K1500.
A security guard stationed inside says he was held at gun point and told to lie flat on the floor.
“They pointed the gun at my head because I had a hand held radio with me. They told me to lie still or they would shoot me,” he says.
The guards say one man stood holding the door while two others went into the office where cash was kept.
Another armed man was left manning the main gate of the compound.
As they made their escape a guard tried to close the gate and a result the armed suspect shot at him but the bullet missed.
His shot missed the guard and hit a man who was standing in front of a shop next to the gate.
The bystander was wounded in the shoulder and was rushed to the hospital.
Police arrived 15 minutes later. No arrests have been mad so far.
