A 37-year-old bodywork technician of Delph Street, Campbellville, Georgetown, is now hospitalised after he was shot and robbed in the wee hours of today while in his yard.
Police say the victim was in his yard at around 00:40 hours today, conversing with another man, when a lone male entered the yard, pointed a suspected firearm at him and snatched a yellow metal chain he was wearing at the time.
The victim and the suspect subsequently became involved in a scuffle, during which the suspect discharged a round, which struck the victim to the left side of his chest. The suspect then ran out of the yard, heading south along Delph Street, and made good his escape.
The injured man was picked up by nearby residents and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was seen and examined by a doctor on duty and admitted a patient. His condition is listed as stable.
A 9mm spent shell was found. CCTV cameras were observed and will be reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation. The suspect, who is presently at large, is being sought.
Investigations are ongoing.
