Feb 01, 2010 News

An unidentified man of mixed ethnicity was shot and killed by ranks of the MMC Security Service around 03:30 hours yesterday at Eping Avenue, Bel Air Park.
The man was shot when he attempted to escape from the security guards who had apprehended him.
According to the police, two security guards attached to Roraima Airways at Eping Avenue saw two men removing the batteries from a motor canter vehicle that was parked on the roadway outside of Roraima Airways.
They challenged the men and managed to arrest one of them while the other escaped on a bicycle.
An MMC Security Service pick-up with three more ranks subsequently arrived at the scene and the unidentified suspect was handed over to them.
The man was placed in the back of the vehicle along with one of the security personnel who was armed with a shotgun while the other two were in the cab.
It is alleged that the suspect attacked the security guard with him at the back of the vehicle in an attempt to escape and was shot in the process.
He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The security guard is in police custody assisting with the investigations.
