The gunman pointed the gun at the employee, who had the company?s holiday sales money in a bag in his hand. He demanded that he hand over the money and the security guard did so.

Police say that the gunman escaped with $80,000 in cash and about 20,000 in cheques. Tonight, police have the employee detained for questioning, but have not charged him yet.

It?s an act that appears too obvious, and too coincidental, said Chester Williams, Assistant Superintendent of Police, that someone with no affiliates and no knowledge could have known that money would have been transferred at that precise time.

It?s definitely a job involving someone inside, said Williams, who believes that they will break the case by end of the week.

The bank is about 60 feet from Save-U?s exit door, from where the two men had come about a minute before they were robbed at gunpoint.

An eyewitness we spoke with told Amandala that he was caught off guard. The entire robbery enfolded in front of his eyes, he said, but he did not realize that it was indeed a robbery until it was too late.

The KBH security guard said that he had just moved from in front of the ATM door for the FirstCaribbean International Bank, which is on the ground floor of the building, where he had been standing guard, which is the exact spot where the gunman met the group of three persons.

He said there were three persons, including a female, and not just two men, as had been indicated by police. He said that he had gone to an area near a booth at the exit gate of the compound, and he had turned his back for a few minutes.

He recalled that he had seen a man sitting on a bicycle prior to moving from the ATM door. The man had been engaged in a conversation with another person on a cell phone.

The guard said he does not remember the entire contents of the man?s conversation, but he remembered hearing the words, ?hurry up.?

The guard had no idea that that was the signal for the gunman to step into the picture, because by the time he turned around, he saw the same man on the bicycle drop the bike and run towards the three persons coming towards the bank.

He realized that the man had a gun in his hand and had placed it to the head of the Save-U employee. He saw that the KBH security guard who was with the Save-U employee was lying on the ground.

The gunman then took the bag of money from the employee and placed it inside a bag that he had on him.

The gunman then ran towards his bicycle, which he had dropped, and rode through the compound?s exit gate, which is opposite Pallotti High School, leading to the Northern Highway.

The witness said that he found it strange that the female whom he saw having a conversation with the Save-U security guard did nothing as the robbery took place in front of her.

She was not told to lay down on the ground, as the KBH guard was told, and he does not know to where she disappeared after the robbery.

A $5,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information on the robbery, concluded Williams.
