Police are looking for information to hunt down the men responsible for an aggravated robbery of an Asian shop in Nukuʻalofa on Sunday morning.
Police reportedly said the men entered a shop next to Night Club Noa on Taufaʻāhau Rd.
The suspects tied up the Chinese store owner and took several items before fleeing from the store.
The stolen items included tobacco and TOP$3,000 cash.
The victim, who was uninjured during the encounter later freed himself and contacted Police.
Police were appealing to the Public for information that may assist them in their investigation.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
