Head of the Portland police, Superintendent Lloyd Darby, is appealing for the public’s assistance in identifying and locating three men who were caught on camera during an armed robbery on Tuesday.

It is alleged that the men, one of whom was armed with what appeared to be a firearm, held up a mobile phone store, making off with phones and cash.

Superintendent Darby said the police are aware that the CCTV footage of the robbery has gone viral on social media.
