Police Constable Injured Following Attempted Robbery in St. Andrew

A police constable is presently receiving treatment at a hospital for injuries sustained during a robbery at a business establishment on Constant Spring Road in St. Andrew.

According to reports from the Half Way Tree Police, around 11:20 a.m., the officer entered the store amidst the ongoing robbery. Upon encountering him, one of the armed assailants fired at the officer, prompting him to take evasive action and return fire. The perpetrators managed to flee the scene.
