Guard shot, revolvers stolen while making bank deposit

About 2000h. last night, the police say that Cleveland Pyle, 22 years, and Damion Pearce, 24 years, security guards attached to a private security service, were making a night deposit at a Bank at Le Ressouvenir, ECD, when they were attacked by a man armed with a gun.

The perpetrator shot Pearce to his left foot and took away the night deposit bag which contained an undisclosed sum of cash that had been collected from business places, and two .32 revolvers with 10 rounds and fled in a motor car driven by an accomplice.

Pearce has been admitted to hospital, as the investigations continue.
