The incident occurred outside Arlington Primary School around 7am yesterday when two teachers and one of their spouses were confronted by three armed robbers. The suspects, driving a white VW Golf, robbed the teachers of their belongings at gunpoint before fleeing with the BMW, two laptops and a handbag containing an undisclosed sum of money.
