A man was shot and injured yesterday during a botched attempt to rob Domino's Pizza at Four Roads Diego Martin.
The man reportedly went into Domino's armed with a firearm and announced a hold up. He ordered the security officer to hand over his property.
The security officer refused and a struggle ensued. Several shots were fired.
The suspect fell to the ground suffering from gunshot wounds and was then taken for medical attention to the Port-of-Spain General Hospital.
One glock pistol and a magazine with a quantity of 9 mm ammunition and spent shells were found on him.
In a separate incident police officers of the Port-of-Spain CID Task Force executed a search warrant in Barataria.
They retrieved a homemade pistol and eight rounds of 9 mm ammunition. The occupant of the house was arrested and charged for the offence.
And in Siparia, officers from the Siparia CID, while on mobile patrol searched a white Toyota Fielder and retrieved 107 packets of marijuana weighing one kg per packet, one glock pistol and 17 rounds 9 mm ammunition. The officers searched the car after they noticed three male occupants acting suspiciously by running out of the vehicle into nearby bushes when they saw the officers.
