A La Horquetta woman was shot in the leg by two men after being robbed of her vehicle in Chaguaramas, this morning.
At the time of the incident, the 21-year-old victim (the owner of a white Nissan Note) had been in the company of a 21-year-old female friend from Wallerfield, as well as two children aged 12 and four years.
The group had stopped along the coast in the vicinity of Casters Cove, Western Main Road, Chaguaramas around 2:30 am today, May 7, 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 ongoing.
