A DAY after police shot and killed three of four bandits who robbed a male KFC delivery driver in Mayaro, a female driver working for the same fast food company, was held up at gunpoint and robbed in Siparia on Monday night.

In the latest incident, the suspects ran into some bushes at Quarry Village, Siparia, and escaped with the loot— $400 and a cell phone.

Shortly before 9 pm on Sunday, a 41-year-old delivery driver from KFC's outlet in Mayaro went to Mischier Road to drop off an order.

A man pretending to be a customer approached the driver who had parked his car on the roadside.
