During the offense, a 27-year-old man was shot in the buttocks.
Sources say that responding officers met the victim, an employee of Shell Beach Seafood, lying injured on the side of the road.
He was subsequently transported to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre by the Emergency Medical Service (EMS), while officers allegedly recovered a warhead.
The other robbery victim, a Freetown man, an employee of the same business, escaped unharmed.
Allegedly, the men were traveling in a white Hyundai box truck and going through Cassada Gardens after having left Cedar Valley at
about 5:50 a.m.
Reports say they were on their way to the St. John’s terminal, where they planned to catch the Barbuda Ferry, and were carrying a sum of
cash to purchase lobster on the sister-island.
However, at about 6 a.m., while they were traveling from north to south on a by-road in Cassada Gardens, a black Wrangler jeep with three occupants blocked their path.
Allegedly, the three men exited the vehicle, held the victims at gunpoint, and robbed them of the money, along with other personal
items.
They then fled in an easterly direction, reportedly making off with over $38,000 in cash.
The alleged robbers were said to be wearing dark-coloured clothing under their bulletproof vests.
A report of the robbery and shooting was made to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) by a constable from Police Headquarters.

How many black wrangler jeeps in Antigua? This should be easy for any competition police force to solve.
How much longer will the citizens of Antigua tolerate illegal immigration of Jamaica and Haiti, and its associated massive increase in crime in our country?
I guess the citizens here love crime and love illegal immigration.

Are y’all trying to tell me that the little one pants young yute y”all see grew up in Antigua have the nerves and the smarts to pull off these organized crimes and keep getting away with it?
Oh please!!! This is organized crimes, and I can guarantee you, that these are outsiders with big criminal brains who are pulling off these robberies.
Gatson Browne, clean up your damn immigration system, and please help out the born Antiguan’s from these bastards who are reeking havoc in this beautiful island.
They are going off tourist, lawyers, good hard working citizens, who next?
This is not politics anymore…I don’t give a damn, this is survival. Yes nothing wrong with movement of people, but you must protect you boarders with a better immigration vetting system Gatson Browne, you must.
We can’t wait four more years for you to get booted out of office,because there wouldn’t be any Antigua left by that time.
This is just a sad sad case in this island bwoi. Hard working people can’t even live in peace to rarse .damn shame.
And I don’t want to here shit about no ” last days” senerio,for for the fking leaders to do something fast.
Enough of the Bla Bla Bla.
They always say to mind what you ask for, well we the good people are asking for a safer Antigua Gatson Browne..is that too much to ask man?
Get off your lazy ass, cause all you do is travel and talk shit.
You sounding like America politics. Instead of building all these police stations across the island and giving these officers another place of residence in such small island, we need to instead, focus on the proper technological equipments ie radios/camera so you can be monitored and a fleet of new vehicles. You get to American road in the morning clock in get an assign vehicle and along with your partner you head out on patrol. We don’t need police sitting at stations like Fireman waiting for a call. The same words uttered to APUA heads a month or so ago, need to be said to this Commissioner of police, since these crimes are to easily committed.
It’s like when ever they feel like and always a clean get away, so no one is safe in Wadadli. All these stations and sub stations in 108 Sq mls is a waste. I guarantee you just like the double murder in Golden Grove, the other one the other will also go unsolved.
Carvalho, well said!
Better believe a some police or army man. Hmphhh….
