Police suspect that a group of three armed men attacked and robbed three sets of persons in the Central Amelia’s Ward, Linden area, between 21:50h and 22:15h Saturday night. In one of the robberies Pastor Nigel Milo 34, was shot.

Investigations revealed that at about 21:50h, the three armed men entered the home of Sunita Ramanand, 40, through an open doorway and held her and her three children at gunpoint. They then ransacked the home and took away jewellery, two cell phones, a pair of binoculars and $105,000 in cash, after which they escaped.

At about 22:00h the men confronted Reuben Stoby, 27, and his girlfriend who were standing on the roadway, held them at gunpoint and took away two cell phones and escaped.

And at about 22:15h, it is suspected that the same three men held up Brian Scott, 47, Linden Beckles and Leon Waldyke, who were carrying out repairs to a building, and robbed them of their jewellery, four cell phones and $2,000 in cash.

While in the process of this robbery, the bandits saw Pastor Milo approaching in his car and discharged rounds at him before escaping. He was hit in the hip and right hand, and has been admitted a patient at the McKenzie Hospital
