A store in Arrecife is robbed using pepper spray

The store "5mentarios", located on Peñas del Chache street, in Arrecife, suffered a robbery this Thursday at around 12:30 p.m. Apparently, a couple of robbers entered the establishment, sprayed the clerk's eyes with pepper spray and committed the assault.

The woman has minor injuries and has been transferred to the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital, as the weapon used is highly abrasive.

Neither the Local Police nor the Firefighters could access the interior of the store, until several minutes after the robbery had been committed, due to the fumes from the spray used and the difficulty in ventilating the place.

At the moment the loot that the assailants were able to get away with is still unknown.
