The afc/apnu have failed miserably in fulfilling their campaign to curb crime. Not surprising since their supporters are the ones perpetrating the criminal acts.

Truck driver shot during failed robbery

A shooting incident which occurred around 19:30 hrs on Monday at Lot 38 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, Berbice, has left a man nursing a gunshot injury.

Shot: Deon Primus

Injured is 38-year-old Deon Primus, a self-employed canter truck driver. The incident occurred as the man was about to drive his truck GPP 4827 into his yard. He was attacked by two men and was reportedly shot in his jaw.
The man, who distributes petrol among other jobs with his truck, was about to park his truck when he saw a male individual in his rear view mirror, acting in a suspicious manner. Primus stated that about the same time he saw another man who rode up on the passenger side of the truck on a bicycle and pointed a gun at him. Primus said that he tried to quickly wind up the window but was still shot in his left side jaw.  The men then escaped without taking anything.
Julius Dey, who resides at the same residence with Primus, told the media that after seeing the truck coming he was preparing to open the door when he heard a gunshot.  He said that as he ventured outside, he was in time to see a short, dark-skinned, slim person, who was said to be the shooter, near the truck. Dey said that he started shouting and neighbours began to come out as the bandits hurried away.
Primus reportedly had $4,000 on him at the time. He was rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital. His condition is regarded as stable.
Reports are that several pellets were lodged in Primus’ jaw and throat area.
Investigations are continuing. No one has been arrested so far.
