Gun snatched from guard

A security guard was robbed of his service revolver and a pump attendant of cash when two bandits, one of whom was armed, descended on the Guyoil Service Station, Sheriff Street yesterday morning.

The guard was struck about the body with the firearm during the robbery and had to later seek medical attention at the Georgetown Hospital.
Up to press time, no one had been arrested.

Police said in the statement that the robbery occurred around 5:30 am.
The statement said that it was reported that two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, entered the service station in a motor vehicle. The armed man held up the security guard on duty and took away his .32 revolver and ammunition and then took away $4,300 from the pump attendant.

The men then escaped in the vehicle.
