A 35-year-old labourer is nursing a wound to his left thigh after he was shot during a suspected robbery around 09:40hrs at Charlotte Street, on Sunday.
According to information from the Guyana Police Force (GPF), investigations revealed that the victim, Wesson Hinds, was standing on Charlotte Street, opposite the Truth Power, Glory, and Sanctuary Church, when two unidentified men wearing face masks approached him on a motorcycle.

The pillion rider, according to police, disembarked, demanded belongings from the victim, asking “if he get anything” and without delay, discharged a round from a handgun, hitting the victim to his left upper thigh.
Subsequently, the suspects fled on the motorcycle. The victim is receiving medical treatment at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, as investigations continue.
