A ban­dit was shot dead by po­lice of­fi­cers dur­ing an al­leged po­lice-in­volved shoot­ing at Brazil Vil­lage, San Raphael on Thurs­day night.

Po­lice have launched a man­hunt for the ban­dit’s three ac­com­plices, who are be­lieved to have been shot and wound­ed dur­ing last night’s in­ci­dent.

It is al­leged that four men, in a white Hon­da Civic, went to rob the Cross Qual­i­ty Su­per­mar­ket at about 8 pm on Thurs­day.

Po­lice said when the of­fi­cers re­spond­ed to the re­port of the rob­bery and ar­rived on the scene, the men got in­to the ve­hi­cle and sped off.

The of­fi­cers at­tempt­ed to in­ter­cept the car; how­ev­er, the men re­port­ed­ly opened fire on the po­lice.

The of­fi­cers re­turned fire.

The car stopped and three of the sus­pects ran out in­to near­by bush­es.

Po­lice of­fi­cers found one of the sus­pects still in the car but bleed­ing from mul­ti­ple gun­shot wounds.

He was tak­en to the Ari­ma Dis­trict Hos­pi­tal, but was pro­nounced dead on ar­rival.

Po­lice said the dead ban­dit is known to them on­ly as "Son, son" from Mal­abar and de­scribe him as a known "pest."

The ve­hi­cle was seized by the po­lice and sent to the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre (FSC) for analy­sis.

Po­lice re­ports in­di­cate two firearms and a quan­ti­ty of am­mu­ni­tion were re­cov­ered from the ve­hi­cle. The seized items al­so were sent to the FSC for bal­lis­tic test­ing.

Po­lice of­fi­cers sub­se­quent­ly launched a man­hunt in the area for the oth­er three sus­pects.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
