Nineteen-year-old Azim Shah will appear before a San Fernando Magistrate today,  charged with the robbery of a Venezuelan salesman which occurred last Friday.

The victim told police he was plying his trade along the Southern Main Road, Pointe-A-Pierre, where he was allegedly approached by two men, one armed with a firearm and another with a wooden baton.

The men allegedly robbed him of several household appliances, cell phones and electronics, before escaping on foot.

Responding officers mounted a search for the suspects during which police located one man and recovered a number of stolen items reported by the salesman.

The suspect, later identified as Shah, was subsequently charged with the offence of robbery with aggravation.

Police are still searching his accomplice.
