A Corentyne salesman was shot in his abdomen yesterday afternoon after bandits attempted to rob his truck outside of the Sunshine Supermarket, located along the Chesney Public Road, Corentyne.
A second salesman was grazed on his face by a bullet fired by one of the two bandits who carried out the attack. Only one of the men was armed with a gun, while the other was armed with a knife.
The salesmen, who operate a truck which transports groceries from the supermarket to customers throughout the Corentyne area, arrived and parked outside of the supermarket just around 4 pm.
