Suspected bandit arrested after gas station robbery

There was a brief exchange of gunfire along the East Bank Corridor early this morning as Police gave chase behind bandits who had pounced on a female Pump Attendant at the McDoom Gas Station.

‘A’ Division Commander, Senior Superintendent Clifton Hicken told News Source that around 2:30am, four armed men went to the Gas Station and held up the Pump Attendant.

They took away $20,000 and a cell phone.

However, the Commander said as they were about to enter the cage, Police from the Agricola AREA responded and the men fled with the Police in hot pursuit.

“According to information received one of the bandits was hit,” Hicken said.

He explained that a raid was immediately carried out and a suspect was arrested. The man was also found with a 9mm pistol and 9mm rounds.

Investigations are ongoing. Employees were seen outside the barricaded gas station this morning in a cluster.
