They demanded the victims' phones, and one was assaulted, before the offenders left in a car .

Later, about 7pm, Police were called to River Road, after four offenders arrived in two vehicles, and entered a liquor store armed with weapons.

They took a number of items before fleeing in a stolen silver Toyota Axio -- which has since been recovered.
