Armed robbers escape after late night burglary in Central City

Yesterday, 8:30 pm, two armed men entered a store at 450 Stanley Street and left with $382 dollars in cash.

The store owner, Mr. Barney Joseph Jr., told Central City News that one off the robbers left a car running in front of the curb, while the other removed the money from the cash register.

Mr. Joseph told local police that he had a gun, but decided not to use it, as it felt unwise. Central City News reporting found out that Mr. Joseph’s father was killed while trying to resist a holdup in the same store, almost 25 years ago.

When asked about the incident the Mr. Joseph replied, “Yes, Dad resisted. They found him shot to death, his own gun in his hand, and a bullet in the store’s ceiling. I’d rather part with my money that my life.”
