WESTERN UNION ROBBED AGAIN

In what appeared to be a repeat of an incident earlier this month, two men entered the Western Union office on Dronningens Gade on Saturday afternoon and took $3,400 in cash.
The pair, carrying handguns, also robbed patrons of jewelry valued at $1,465, according to a release from Territorial Police Chief Jose Garcia.
The release said the robbers were black males — one was 5 feet 3 inches tall, aged 18 to 23, and was wearing a red jacket over his face, while the other was 5 feet 6 inches tall and appeared to be between 26 and 35 years old.
On Monday, Feb. 7, two men entered the same location, one wearing a stocking mask and wielding a handgun, and robbed an employee of $1,800 and a $250 check.
Police are asking anyone with information on either robbery to call 774-4050 or 911.
