A 54-year-old self-employed resident of Uitvlugt, West Coast Demerara (WCD) is nursing gunshot injuries during an attempted armed robbery on Sunday.

Based on reports received, the victim was standing in front of a supermarket situated on the lower flat of his residence when he was approached by two masked males on a black motorcycle.

One of the suspects, who was wearing a reflective vest, reportedly dismounted the motorcycle and attempted to forcibly remove the victim’s jewellery, but he put up some resistance.
