…escapes with bag of cash and guns
Police are questioning a security guard attached to the RK Security Service to ascertain the
real circumstances surrounding the shooting of his colleague, who was also relieved of a bag containing cash and two firearms outside the Demerara Bank’s branch at Le Ressouvenir, East Coast Demerara, on Monday night.
Police say that security guard Damion Pearce, 24, was shot in his left foot by a bandit who relieved him of the items just as he was about to make a night deposit at the bank. He is presently being treated at a city hospital.
According to a police press release, at about 20:00 hours on Monday, Pearce and 22-year-old Cleveland Pyle, who are attached to the private security service, were making a night deposit at a Bank at Le Ressouvenir, when they were attacked by a man armed with a firearm.
The perpetrator shot Pearce to his left foot and took away the night deposit bag which contained an undisclosed sum of cash that had been collected from business places, and two .32 revolvers with 10 rounds, and escaped in a motor car driven by an accomplice.
Although, the guards were armed with another weapon, no one returned fire at the fleeing bandit, arousing the suspicions of investigators.
The injured Pearce was assisted by his partner Pyle and taken to the hospital, abandoning the company car outside the bank.
A senior police source said that while investigators are questioning Pyle, they are waiting until doctors give the go ahead for them to question the wounded Pearce as they investigate the matter.
