A female bartender was robbed of more than N$200,000 at gunpoint by two unknown suspects in the early hours of yesterday at Walvis Bay's Kuisebmond.

At the time of the robbery, the bartender was preparing to go to the bank to deposit the money.

Two men appeared suddenly as she stepped out to take a taxi, one of whom was armed with a pistol.

The police said one of the suspects grabbed the victim, kicked her to the ground, took the backpack containing cash, and jumped into a getaway silver Honda with a fake registration (N 21427 WB) and drove off in the direction of the Seapoint location. 

The victim sustained bruises on her right leg.

No recovery or arrest has been made yet.

The police are calling on anyone with information to contact Deputy Commissioner Iikuyu at 081 246 4757, Detective Senior Inspector Johan Geiseb at 081 262 9842, or the nearest police station.
