Dear all,
Just received information concerning an armed robbery across from the Pegasus Hotel:
Two men were seen on a motorcycle in the vicinity of the Pegasus Hotel, the passenger on the motorcycle took an Uzi submachine gun from a bag he was carrying and attempted to rob a business man. It is believed that a Police officer in Plain Clothes located next to Emancipation Park observed what was happening and fired at the perpetrators. The motorcycle passenger was hit in the foot. The driver of the motorcycle rode off when the shots were fired leaving his partner on the ground with a gunshot wound. The passenger managed to get up with his gun and entered a parked taxi (white Toyota corolla) and left the area before the police responded to the scene.
Regards,
Helmut
