Fortune Club Armed Robbery in Port Moresby

At around 9:30 am this morning the owner of the Fortune Club in Port Moresby’s Gordons industrial center, whilst driving out on a bank run, was held up and shot multiple times in a robbery by unknown criminals.

This occurred at the Fortune Club gates by about 4 - 5 armed suspects in an attempt to rob him of the cash he was carrying but were unsuccessful on the first few attempts.

He was then followed down Gabaka Street in Gordons; cornered in front of the Gala Industries Head Office and fired at and shot two more times in his White Toyota RAV 4 vehicle.

That’s from a  employee (name withheld)  of the Gala Industries.

The eyewitness then said the suspects then blocked off the injured victim who had veered off the road, shot again and an undisclosed amount of money taken from the victim’s car.

Suspects then made their getaway in a white Toyota Harrier.

The victim was taken to the hospital and his condition is unknown at this time.
Meantime, police arrived later at the scene of the crime.
