The owners of John Chea Meat Mart chain of stores were held and gunpoint and robbed of a deposit bag Tuesday, outside the Commonwealth Bank Wulff Road branch.

Police reported that the armed robbery took place in the bank’s parking lot.

When The Journal arrived at the scene, a number of police officials were seen inside and outside the building conducting investigations.

Services at that location were halted for several hours as the bank was forced to close.

Three John Chea owners, one female and two males, were seen being escorted from that location by police.

Investigations are ongoing.
