Following a robbery attempt on a security guard at a city bank, members of a patrol attached to the Professional Guards Service shot a teenage suspect early Friday morning. According to reports, a female security guard was on duty in the compound of Republic Bank Limited at Waterloo and New Market Streets, Georgetown, around 04:00h when she observed the suspect in the compound in possession of her handbag, which was left on a table. The guard raised an alarm and the suspect dropped the bag and escaped by scaling the fence. However, the guard alerted her supervisor at the Professional Guard Service office and shortly after a patrol was dispatched. A young male fitting the description of the suspect was subsequently seen in the area and confronted by the patrol. During the intervening process, a round was discharged from the shotgun that was in possession of one of the patrol members, hitting the suspect to his face and body. The injured teenager was rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he underwent surgery and is recovering under Police guard.
