Gold miner shot and robbed
A gold miner is currently nursing a gunshot wound to his leg which he sustained during a daring daylight robbery at a snackette, opposite E.C Vieira Investment in Houston, East Bank Demerara.
Injured is Ryan Blackett of Crane, West Coast Demerara. He is hospitalized and in a stable condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
Yesterday, at the hospital, the injured man’s wife refused to speak to the publication but well placed sources said that he returned from the interior on Friday and went to the snackette for a social gathering.
“He was talking to his friend when two men came on a CG bike and shot him and take his haversack with money and rode away,” an eyewitness related.
Up to press time yesterday, no one was arrested. Kaieteur News was told that the robbery may have been a “set up.”
