AN act of bravery by a female security guard attached to Instant Security Service (ISS)

prevented two gunmen from entering the Hand-in-Hand Trust Corporation Inc branch on Middle Street, Georgetown on Wednesday.

Around 14:30hrs, the guard observed two young men exiting a motorcar, looking as though they were up to no good and confronted them.

A scuffle ensued with the robbers, and recognising that they were in trouble, they abandoned their mission but not before discharging three gunshots which resulted in injury to a passerby.

At the time the suspected bandits visited the company, it was already closed and as such they did not get to rob anyone.

Police say a firearm was found and two men have been arrested and they are looking for the car used in the attempted robbery.
