A minibus driver is now being nursed for a gunshot wound to his left shoulder following a robbery in the vicinity of Flour Mill Road, Eccles, East Bank Demerara on Saturday at about 11:45h. The injured man has been identified as Feroze Ghanie, 48, of Ruby, East Bank Essequibo. He was admitted at the Georgetown Public Hospital and was listed as stable. Based on information, Ghanie was shot after two men held up the minibus he was driving and robbed the conductor, Raphael Ghanie and a passenger, Dhanmattie Ramana. Police investigations revealed that two men boarded the minibus at Parika and as the bus approached the Flour Mill Road, they requested to disembark. As the minibus stopped as requested, one of the men who was armed with a hand gun held up the conductor and the passenger and relived them of $21,000. Upon seeing this, the driver attempted to drive away but was shot to the shoulder. The two men then escaped. The Police have since launched an investigation into the matter. Only last month, Karim Shivrattan, 17, of Lot 14 Public Road, Agricola, was shot to  his chest during an attempt to prevent a robbery being committed on passengers in a minibus at Agricola, Georgetown on Monday morning. According to the Police, the young man went to the assistance of two women who were being robbed at gunpoint by two men, one of whom was armed with a gun. Based on reports, the two bandits had joined the minibus at Diamond, East Bank Demerara and upon reaching Agricola, requested to get off. As the vehicle stopped, the two men held up Natasha Rampersaud, 33, and Lalita Narine, 53, both of Diamond Housing Scheme. They reportedly relieved the women of their jewellery. Upon realising what was happening, young Shivrattan went to the assistance of the women but was shot. He was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he remains in a stable condition. The two perpetrators made good their escape.
