Jan 15, 2010 News

Plaisance resident Rafael Jordan thought that he had gotten away after robbing a 17-year-old student of the Plaisance Community High School.
He had even chopped his victim with a cutlass to relieve him of his cellular phone.
But a short while later Jordan was confronted by the police and in his efforts to resist arrest, he was shot in the right thigh.
He is presently under guard at the Georgetown Hospital.
Police in a press release stated that at about 13: 40 hours yesterday the suspect who gave his name as Rafael Jordan was shot and injured by a policeman during efforts to arrest him.
Jordan was positively identified as the perpetrator by the victim of the robbery, which had occurred 30 minutes earlier on the Plaisance Railway Embankment.
According to the police, acting on information received, ranks responded and subsequently spotted Jordan at Victoria Road, Plaisance, and in efforts to arrest him he was shot to his thigh.
He was taken to the GPHC where he was identified to the police by the victim of another armed robbery as one of two persons who had robbed him at gunpoint of $150,000 at Victoria Road during November, 2009.
This matter had been reported to the police at Sparendaam and was under investigation.
