An ice cream vendor was on Monday robbed of cash and ‘lollies’ worth hundreds in a Trinidad and Tobago town called Arouca.

According to the police in a statement Tuesday, the vendor, a 25-year-old man was riding his “Creamery Lolly bicycle” on First Street, Arouca, at around 1.30 pm when a man in a white hoodie approached, pulled out a gun, and robbed the vendor.

The bandit stole several lollies and $500 tt from the vendor before running away through a nearby drain.

The vendor reported the incident to police, who are still investigating.

In Trinidad, ‘lollies’ are an extremely popular brand of icicle made from fruits.
