POLICE report that two bandits who had robbed two students at knifepoint at about 16:00hrs on Monday at David Street, Kitty, Georgetown are in police custody after an alert licensed firearm holder went to the assistance of the hapless teens. Reports are that the two students were attacked by the two men, armed with a handgun and a knife. The perpetrators took away the students’ jewellery and a cell phone before escaping on a bicycle.
The victims raised an alarm, and a licensed firearm holder responding, gave chase behind the two men, during which one of them was shot in his buttocks and left foot. He managed to escape, but was later arrested when he went to seek medical attention at the GPH, where he is presently under guard.
The other perpetrator was arrested by the licensed firearm holder and handed over to the police. A gold pendant was recovered along with the knife used in the robbery. He also is in police custody.
