TWO men were on Thursday afternoon arrested following an alleged robbery and shooting incident in Albouystown, Georgetown, which resulted in one man being injured.

The injured male has been identified as Imole Fox, 44, a wildlife exporter of Regent and King Streets, Georgetown.

Reports indicate that the incident occurred at around 13:30hrs at Victoria Street, Albouystown and the two men in custody were apprehended at Cooper Street, Albouystown.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that the two suspects, in the company of another male, allegedly robbed Fox of a haversack containing a bunch of keys, a cellular phone and some medications for animals.

Fox reportedly fought back, which resulted in one of the suspects whipping out a handgun and discharging several rounds at the 44-year-old man.

The victim reportedly managed to flee the scene, leaving a trail of blood behind. He received a gunshot wound to the lower right leg, while a bullet also grazed his head.

The wildlife exporter was treated at a city hospital and subsequently discharged.
Investigators have retrieved a live round as well as a spent shell from the scene.
