She says two of the robbers were armed with handguns.
The clerk says she uplifted cash from the head office of her workplace to pay workers at Caneview Avenue.
The woman informed police that she parked her motorcar and was waiting to pay the workers, as she usually does.

She said one of suspects then picked up the cash mentioned – which was secured in an envelope.
