A would-be robber is now in police custody after a bid to rob a security guard on Thursday night resulted in him being accidentally shot by his accomplice.
The attack occurred around 11.30 pm on Thursday, while the intended victim, identified only as a 39-year-old security guard, was walking along the Bachelor’s Adventure Public Road, on the East Coast of Demerara.
The wounded bandit sustained a gunshot wound to his right thigh. He was escorted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH), where he remains a patient under police guard.
His accomplice, who inflicted the wound, managed to flee the scene by running through a nearby cemetery. He is yet to be apprehended.
