An 80-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint in Cashew Hill on Wednesday afternoon after three men attacked him and a shot was reportedly fired during the struggle.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Police said the victim was leaving his property on Peterson Lane around midday when three unknown men approached him. One of the assailants pointed what was described as a white firearm at the elderly man, triggering a confrontation in which a single round was allegedly discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man attempted to flee but fell, and one of the attackers reportedly kicked him in the face before stealing a dark-coloured cellphone in a brown case.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Officers later detained a Cashew Hill resident for questioning as part of the investigation. A spent casing was recovered at the scene, and a pink hoodie believed to be linked to the incident was discovered in nearby bushes.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Police say inquiries into the armed robbery are ongoing.<\/p>\n
