Police shoots at suspected bandits in high speed chase
12
…one arrested
Police in ‘A’ Division on Friday evening arrested one person following a shootout at Victor Street, Lodge, Georgetown. The incident occurred just before 20:00h.
While details are sketchy, Guyana Times was told that the Police reportedly thwarted an attempted robbed which resulted in an exchange of fire between the lawmen and the alleged perpetrators.
No one was injured during the shootout however it was reported that one woman, a nurse who was nearby, after hearing the gunshots jumped into the nearby canal for cover. She was subsequently assisted out by the police officers.
When this newspaper visited the area, residents were tight lipped about what transpired, only saying that “the Police opened fire.”
While it is unclear how many gunmen there were, it was also related to this publication that the police managed to arrest one of them.
