Milne Bay Acting Provincial Police Commander, Chief Inspector George Baiyagau, said the robbers targeted the estate’s BSP ATM machine and made away with cash in the ATM.
Chief Inspector Baiyagau said the robbery took place at 3am.
He said the seven fully armed suspects used a chainsaw to cut through the estate’s wooden fence to gain access, then held up the security guards and proceeded to use the chainsaw to cut open a shop’s door.
They then used the chainsaw again to cut around the wall that was holding the BSP ATM, which was in the store.
