Georgetown: Police investigators are in possession of a firearm, along with matching ammunition, which was retrieved during an apparent robbery operation at a popular insurance company that was foiled by a guard on duty.
According to Police reports, about 03:20h on Tuesday, a security guard on duty at Assuria Insurance Company on Church Street, Georgetown, was confronted by four men, one of whom was armed with a firearm.
During the confrontation, the security guard resisted and a scuffle ensued with the armed man, who dropped the firearm. The guard quickly retrieved the weapon.
Commander of A Division (Georgetown-East Bank Demerara), Clifton Hicken, stated that after realising that their lone weapon was no longer in their possession, the men immediately escaped from the area.
Hicken believes that the perpetrators were able to gain access to the insurance company’s premises through a nearby flower shop.
The unlicensed 9mm pistol along with seven rounds of ammunition was handed over to the Police. The investigation continues.
