As police struggled with their fight in ridding the streets of illegal firearms, 15 guns fell into the hands of criminals, after a daring daylight robbery at a security firm in Woodbrook, yesterday.
Estate Constable Leslie Thompson, who was on duty at the office, was beaten with a gun butt by one of the armed men who proceeded to tie her up with duct tape. Thompson also lost a tooth during the incident. She told officers she was on duty at the office when a man dressed in a uniform resembling that of MI-5 and another as a police officer came towards the front door. Investigators said Thompson recognised one of the men, who told her through an intercom he came to drop off some documents. Both men were allowed entry through two doors. One of the men whipped out a gun and announced a hold-up. Thompson was beaten and tied up.
The suspects then stole 15 guns from a steel box which was under a counter. The suspects, who drove down Alfredo Street, a one-way street, are believed to have made their escape in a blue Hyundai motorcar, with registration PBH 1545.
Im sure those guns already reach the hands of the buyers
