Two Indian employees at Dominos in Christchurch were stabbed during a robbery on February 13. At around 10:10 p.m. the police received a report of an aggravated robbery at the outlet on Harewood Street, Bishopdale in Christchurch.
Two heavily disguised and armed men entered the outlet and demanded money. Although the two staff members present at the counter complied, the money was kept in a time-delay safe and therefore the robbers couldn’t get much. In a fit of anger, they stabbed the two employees before fleeing the scence.
According to the sources, both the employees were alone in the store when the incident happened, which might have emboldened the attackers to stab them. Amrit, one of the two employees at the scene received serious but not life-threatening wounds to the stomach and was transported to Christchurch Hospital, whereas Bhupinder, the other employee received a cut on his chest and was treated at the scene by St John.
The offenders fled the store with an undisclosed sum of money. The police immediately made enquiries in the area in an attempt to locate the two men but could not find them.
Police did a scene examination on the morning of February 14 and CIB are currently investigating the case. Victim Support services have also being provided.
“Police are currently investigating the incident, and the Domino’s staffs affected are receiving medical care. Domino’s number one priority is the safety of our staff, and at the moment, our focus is on their well-being and recovery,” Angela Hayes, Domino’s Communications Manager, said.
“Domino’s will continue to work closely with the local police, including providing CCTV footage to aid the investigation,” Ms Angela added.
Police have asked residents of Bishopdale and Harewood to come forward if they find any discarded clothing in the areas.
Any person who might have knowledge of the robbery or has witnessed anything suspicious in the area can contact the police on 03 363 7400.
