A La Horquetta woman was shot in the leg by armed men after being robbed in Chaguaramas yesterday morning.
The 21-year-old victim was the owner of a white Nissan Note – and had been in the company of a 21-year-old female friend from Wallerfield and two children ages 12 and four, when the incident occurred.
The group had stopped along the coast in the vicinity of Casters Cove, Western Main Road, Chaguaramas around 2.30 am yesterday when a car pulled alongside them.
The women had been standing outside the car while the children were seated inside when two suspects walked up and ordered all of them to lie on the ground.
The men then robbed the women of their cell phones before shooting the La Horquetta woman once in the left leg and driving off in her car.
Investigations are continuing.
