HOODED MEN wielding knives and batons attempted to rob two kiosks in two separate incidents in the early hours of yesterday morning. The first armed robbery took place at 2.30am at a kiosk in Ifigenias Street when three hooded men armed with a knife and baton stole €3,000 from the till after beating the employee, who was taken to Nicosia general hospital for treatment.  At 4am, two hooded men tried to rob a kiosk on Kennedy Avenue, again using a knife. However, the owner resisted and the robbers ran off empty-handed.
