TWO teenagers and a 21-year-old are in police custody after robbing Bharrat’s Jewellery located at Robb Street and Orange Walk, Georgetown on Wednesday.

According to police, the ages of the suspects are 16, 17 and 21 years respectively.

Reports indicate that the 48-year-old businessman and 30-year-old salesman were inside the jewellery store when the three suspects entered.

Police said one of the suspects pulled out a black handgun from his right side pants waist, pointed it at the businessman and told him not to say anything.

He then took away the victim’s cellular phone while one of the other suspects, who was armed with a hammer, lashed a glass case and broke it.

The third suspect then pushed his hand into the glass case and took out the jewellery. The suspects then ran out of the store and continued to run south on Orange Walk.

Ranks on patrol duty were informed and they gave chase in the direction in which the suspects ran. The suspects, on seeing the ranks, continued to run in different directions in order to escape but they were apprehended between Orange Walk and Alexander Street.

Police shot one of the suspects in his right upper thigh and upon his arrest he was searched but nothing was found on him or the others.

The injured suspect was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he received medical attention under police guard. The other suspects are in custody as investigations continue
