Apr 22, 2016 News

An officer attached to the Guyana Police Force received injuries following a confrontation with an alleged bandit.
According to Commander of ‘B’ Division, Assistant Commissioner Ian Amsterdam, police ranks were conducting routine patrols in the Rose Hall, Corentyne area when the suspect, Keon Thompson commonly known as “Mad Dawg,” of Canje, was proceeding on the public road, and began acting in a suspicious manner.
The ranks then attempted to search the man who began resisting arrest. A scuffled ensued between the alleged bandit and one Constable Clarkson, and the suspect managed to disarm the rank of his .38 revolver and began firing several shots. One of the shots reportedly struck the Constable, but luckily he was protected by his bulletproof vest.
The man then made good his escape into the Reef backlands area on foot. Unconfirmed reports revealed that Thompson is wanted for questioning in connection with a number of robberies in the Corentyne area.
Investigations are currently ongoing.
