Suspected bandit shot dead at New Amsterdam

A suspected bandit was fatally shot by a businessman on Monday during an attempted robbery at a jewellery store in New Amsterdam, Berbice.

While the identity of the suspected robber has not yet been confirmed, MTV News Update understands that the incident, which occurred in broad daylight, also left a customer injured.

Details surrounding the incident are still unclear, but reports suggest that the suspect entered the jewellery store and demanded cash and values. It was then that the customer was hit.

The businessman, who is a licenced firearm holder, quickly responded by opening fire on the alleged bandit, fatally wounding him.

This is a developing story, and MTV News Update will provide more details when it becomes available.
