A man shot during a homejacking

One of the victims has a restaurant on the road between Sandy Ground and Nettle Bay. On Tuesday, toward 10:30 pm, he left his office to go home, about 20 meters from there. When the man was about to open the bay window, two hooded and armed individuals assaulted him. He was taken to the room where his friend sleeps. The friend was wakened and the two men were tied up with adhesive tape.

The two individuals asked where the money and safe were. They took the small amount of money that the two victims had. Then they took the restaurant owner to his office, where they stole the little money that there was. Afterwards, they returned to the bedroom. They lifted the friend who was lying there and while doing so, a shot was fired; the friend was shot in the back. He was transferred to the hospital; his life is not in danger.

The two criminals escaped with 300 dollars.

An investigation has been opened and assigned to the research brigade.
