A 41-year-old man was in serious but stable condition in hospital Tuesday after suffering gunshot wounds about the body during an armed robbery early that morning. <\/p>\n
Police said the incident happened just before 3am when the man arrived at his Colony Village home. <\/p>\n
Police reported that three masked men dressed in dark clothing, one armed with a handgun, approached the homeowner.<\/p>\n
Inspector Walter Evans said police received reports that the burglars held the man at bay and proceeded to rob him of a small amount of cash. <\/p>\n
The culprits reportedly demanded more, but after learning that the homeowner had nothing else to give, they fired a series of gunshots, hitting the man in the left chest, the right abdomen area and the left leg.<\/p>\n
Police reports reveal that only two hours earlier, a man had just finished using Commonwealth Bank’s ATM on Nassau Street when a dark male approached him. <\/p>\n
Police said the bandit, who was armed with a knife, reportedly demanded cash.<\/p>\n
The man later fled on foot with the money, police reported.<\/p>\n
Police also said they were still searching for the third man suspected of being involved in the killing of businessman Keith Carey two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
“We are asking [members of] the public to continue their assistance regarding the whereabouts of this individual,” said Inspector Evans. <\/p>\n
“He is still wanted by the police and we need to do what is necessary to ensure that he is brought before the courts, but we can only ensure a safe community when the police and the public work hand in hand.”<\/p>\n
Police said Sean Brown, a resident of Rocky Pine Road, has only two fingers on his right hand. He is considered armed and dangerous. <\/p>\n
His alleged cohorts – Dwight Knowles, 22, and Jamal Glinton, 24 – were charged with murder on Monday.<\/p>\n
In addition to being charged with causing Mr. Carey’s death, the men were charged with armed robbery in connection with the incident. <\/p>\n
Police allege the men robbed the businessman of $40,000 in cash and cheques, the property of Esso On the Run on Carmichael Road and Faith Avenue.<\/p>\n
In other news from the crime beat, officers of the Quiet Storm Operation arrested 15 persons on Monday, police said.<\/p>\n
The group reportedly included seven illegal immigrants, six Haitian males and one Jamaican female. Six persons were also arrested for illegal gambling and two for outstanding warrants, police said.<\/p>\n
