More than €1,000 were stolen during an armed robbery on a gaming outlet at about 9.45 p.m. yesterday in Qormi Road, Marsa.  

The police said an armed and hooded man had demanded money from the shop's 23-year-old attendant.

As soon as the cash was handed over, the robber fled the scene.

Two women, aged 76 and 56, were inside the outlet at the time. No one was hurt.

Further investigations are underway while several experts have been appointed to assist with a magisterial inquiry.
