Police appeal for public’s help in Liguanea armed robbery and shooting probe

The police are appealing to anyone who may have information on the armed robbery and shooting in Liguanea, St. Andrew, on Monday to contact investigators.

A courier vehicle was stolen, but later recovered with an undetermined sum of cash and a shotgun.

A high-level probe has been launched into the case of shooting with intent, robbery and malicious destruction of property, following the incident in the parking lot of a plaza.

Investigators have been drawn from the St. Andrew Central Criminal Investigation Branch, the Specialised Investigation Branch and the Forensic Services Branch.

Reports are that at about 7:50 P.M., a three-member courier team from a security company was conducting a cash pick-up at a restaurant in the plaza when they were reportedly ambushed.

The team was approached by approximately three armed men who alighted from another vehicle in the parking lot.

A confrontation ensued between the armed men and the security personnel, during which the assailants commandeered the security team’s Suzuki Vitara and fled the scene.

Following swift action of the police, the stolen motor vehicle was later intercepted and recovered along Blue Castle Drive in Mona, St. Andrew.

The vehicle contained bags of cash and a shotgun.

A full reconciliation process is underway to determine the amount of cash that was stolen during the heist.

Investigators have comprehensively processed the primary scene in Liguanea and the recovery scene in Mona and are utilising all investigative tools to identify those involved.

Several statements have been recorded as investigations into the incident continue.
