Good work next time they should shoot to kill these people
Two car thieves were caught yesterday on Mosquito Creek, South Oropouche, after their car crashed during a shoot-out with police.
The suspects, a 23-year-old Siparia man, and his 38-year-old accomplice, were taken to hospital along with Sunil Gosine, the man they injured when his car was hit.
The gunmen are believed to be behind the robbery at the Siewlal Trace, Fyzabad, home of San Fernando City Corporation Health Inspector Azam Mohammed on Sunday night.
Mohammed was washing his car when four men with guns came, and beat him and his wife before stealing the family's car, a Nissan Almera, a police report said.
At 7 a.m. yesterday, police spotted the stolen car travelling along the South Trunk Road, occupied by two men. A second car followed behind with two men.
When police tried making an interception, they were shot at. One of the cars struck a panel van and then Gosine's car.
He was seriously injured and was last night at hospital.
Police recovered a .38 handgun and several rounds of ammunition.
