At about 2200h. last night, the police say that miner Andre D’Abreu, 34 years, of Thomas Street, Georgetown, and miner Jason Ramjattan, 35 years, of Laing Avenue, Georgetown, were chatting on the roadway at Thomas Street when they were attacked by two men armed with handguns.
The police say that one of the men shot D’Abreu to his left side and they took away an undisclosed sum of money from his motor vehicle and a cell phone from Ramjattan and escaped.
D’Abreu has been admitted to hospital. Investigations are in progress.
