Robbers shoot Craig Street resident
A 46-year-old Craig Street resident is in a critical condition after he was shot in the stomach by one of two robbers who attacked him outside his home at around 02:00 hrs yesterday.
Colin Wayne
Eyewitnesses said that Colin Wayne, a tenant of Lot 26 Craig Street and Delph Avenue, Campbelliville, was shot at close range as he was about to wheel his motorcycle into the yard.
He was relieved of an undisclosed sum of money and jewellery.
Wayne reportedly operates a ‘chic-chic’ board, and is believed to have been robbed of his earnings.
From all accounts, the suspects had lain in wait for their victim to arrive home.
Eyewitnesses recalled seeing the two men loitering in Craig Street near the house where Wayne resides.
Richard Govinda, the victim’s landlord, said that he was awakened at around 02:00 hrs yesterday by his dogs agitated barking.
On looking outside, he saw Wayne standing on the bridge and clutching his stomach.
Govinda said that by the time he reached outside, his tenant had already collapsed. The landlord observed that Wayne was bleeding from a wound to the stomach.
According to Govinda, he called for a taxi, but when the vehicle arrived, the driver initially hesitated to place the bleeding man in the car.
Wayne was eventually taken to a city hospital where he underwent surgery.
No one has been arrested.
