Reports stated that about 11.05 am, the alleged robber who police revealed was from the Frome section of the parish, walked into a business place on Great Georges Street.

It was reported that he held up and stole approximately $400,000 from a teller there and tried to get away when he was shot and injured by the guard.

He was later given to the police officers and the money taken from him.
