USING a security officer's uniform a bandit robbed the Independence Square branch of Mario's Pizzeria on Tuesday night.
As he tried to hire a taxi as his getaway car, he was nabbed by police.
The Express understands that around 9 p.m. the bandit entered the outlet and asked to speak to the manager.
He saw her, drew a pistol, and announced a hold-up. She handed over the day's money and the bandit left. Employees then contacted the police.
Officers from the Port of Spain CID who were on patrol at the time went to the outlet and spoke to employees.
They got a description of the man and drove along Independence Square where they saw him awaiting transportation along Broadway.
They waited until the man got into a taxi and grabbed him before the taxi left.
All of the money was recovered
