“MY FRIEND” ROBBED IN EBONY PARK

On the 8th of November 2019, Tagase Abase an Ethiopian National shop owner was robbed at gun point in Ebony Park Extension 4.

Abase who is known as Shorty and has a spaza shop called Jay Jay’s Supermarket at the Corner of Bouganvilla Road and Delphimum Street was robbed by 2 thugs around 7am last week Friday.
