Bandit injured after trading shots with cops

Apr 23, 2017 News

A 23-year-old man was shot after trading bullets with police ranks during a robbery at Kitty, Georgetown around 14:45 hrs on Friday.
The wounded bandit who has not been identified is hospitalized at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). He was shot to the right foot.
Reports are that the suspect and another accomplice robbed a Bourda Market vendor of $400,000, as the victim was about to enter his Pike Street, Kitty yard.
The vendor was about to open his gate when the suspects, one armed with a handgun, approached him on a motor cycle, pounced and relieved him of his cash and escaped.
The matter was immediately reported and shortly after ranks on a mobile patrol responded and confronted the bandits, who discharged several rounds at the officers.
The police returned fire hitting one of the suspects who fell. His accomplice managed to escape. Later that day, the police received information of the location of the stolen items.
Acting in information received, the ranks went to a house in Duncan Street, Kitty, where they conducted a search and found an unlicensed revolver with two live rounds and one spent shell.
Four males and two females who were in the house have been taken into custody. One of the females is said to be the girlfriend of the wounded suspect.
A part of the money was recovered.
