The owner of Yog Yog Frozen Parlour, Gail Russell’s son, Nicholas, was last night shot after five bandits
invaded his home in Bel Air Park.
Nicholas Coates, 30, of Eping Avenue, Bel Air Park was shot to his knee when five bandits barged into his house and started firing shots at him. He was taken to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, where he is expected to undergo surgery.
Russell told Kaieteur News that her son, a young entrepreneur, was home alone in his apartment when the incident occurred. She stated that he was drinking a cup of tea in his verandah when five men rushed through his open door. She said the men had apparently knocked at the downstairs apartment and received no answer. She said it was then that they probably noticed Coates’ door open.
She said Coates immediately threw his cup of tea on the bandits and ran into his bedroom to get his gun and in the process was shot. While the bandits were trying to pry their way into the room, she said, her son grabbed his gun and returned fire.
One of the bandits was shot in the ordeal and the men made their escape in a yellow car. They managed to steal a cell phone.
“We called 911, 913 and 9 whatever and it all ring out. The police came 45 minutes later,” she noted.
Police are currently investigating the matter.
