San Pedro Publics Robbery Leaves Security Guard Injured

A security guard in San Pedro Town was shot on Friday night during a robbery at Publics Supermarket on Coconut Drive. The manager told police that just before eight o ‘o’clock, three men wearing masks and dark clothes entered the store and one of them pulled out a firearm. They pulled a plastic bag and demanded money, instructing a customer in the store to open the cash drawer. During the incident, the armed man fired a single shot at the security guard, 57-year-old Nelson Young. The shot managed to injure Young in both feet. After the shot was fired, the three men ran out of the store without stealing anything. An on-duty police officer in the area responded and fired shots at the escaping assailants, but they escaped unharmed. Police are investigating.
