Bandits shoot bus driver and delivery man in separate robberies

Mar 22, 2016 News

Bandits shot Linden bus driver Elvin Lorrimer and wounded a Royal Castle delivery man during separate robberies in Hadfield Street and Garnett Street, Campbellville last night.
Lorrimer, 53, of Kara Kara, Linden, was shot in the chest at around 20.00 hrs while sitting in his vehicle at the Linden bus park in Georgetown. He reportedly sustained at least two gunshot wounds, and was said to be undergoing surgery at press time.
There are reports that Lorrimer, who is also a pastor, was wounded when he resisted his attacker.
An eyewitness said that she was standing nearby when she heard a gunshot. She then saw Lorrimer lying on the roadside.
According to the woman, she then heard another gunshot, and saw two men on a motorcycle riding in the direction of the Stabroek Market area.
Lorrimer was then rushed to the GPHC, where his condition is listed as critical.
His distraught wife said that the father of four has been working as a minibus driver for some 18 years and has a church at Moblissa, on the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
He left home at around 09.30 hrs yesterday. She received word of the attack from an individual who plies his trade at the Linden bus park.
In another brazen robbery last night, Satycharran Karran, a 36-year-old Royal Castle employee, was shot in the left hand and the leg while making a delivery in Garnett Street, Campbellville.
The robbers made off with Karran’s CG motorcycle.
