Campbellville
bakery
bandit
shot
ONE
of
three
men
involved
in
a
robbery,
at
a
Campbellville,
Georgetown
bakery,
was
shot
by
Police,
another
arrested
and
a
third
escaped
early
yesterday
morning.
QUICK
RESPONSE:
Police
at
the
scene
of
the
Campbellville
bakery
robbery
yesterday
Police
said
Sherwin
Devonish,
called
`Black
Chinee’,
21,
of
Norton
Street,
Lodge,
also
in
the
city,
was
shot
when
he
was
confronted
in
an
abandoned
building
near
Nedd’s
Uplift
Bakery,
minutes
after
the
place
had
been
robbed.
Devonish
underwent
surgery,
for
gunshot
wounds
to
both
legs,
immediately
on
arrival
at
Georgetown
Public
Hospital
Corporation
(GPHC)
and
was
under
armed
guard
at
the
institution
where
his
condition
is
reported
as
stable.
Mrs.
Parbattie
`Babsie’
Nedd,
67,
proprietor
of
the
Garnett
and
Middleton
Streets
bakery,
said
the
shot
man
was
an
employee
of
hers.
Recounting
her
harrowing
experience
that
left
her
shaken
and
bleeding
from
the
nose
and
mouth,
she
said
it
began
around
06:30
h.
Nedd
said
Devonish
used
his
access
to
her
home
to
allow
accomplices
into
the
business
place
and,
after
locking
the
door
to
it,
grabbed
her
by
the
neck
and
manhandled
her.
She
said
he
threw
her
to
the
floor
and
one
of
the
other
two
men,
armed
with
a
gun,
pointed
it
to
her
head
and
demanded
that
she
take
them
to
the
upper
flat
of
the
building
for
money
and
jewellery.
One
man
was
then
left
guarding
her
while
the
other
two
tried
to
get
into
the
upper
flat.
The
woman
said
the
heist
was
aborted,
at
that
stage,
after
a
female
employee
who
was
present
unknown
to
the
trio,
ran
through
a
rear
entrance
and
alerted
her
son
next
door.
Nedd
said
the
men,
becoming
aware
of
people
responding
to
the
alarm,
fled.
But
the
man
who
was
guarding
her
was
apprehended
by
relatives
and
public-spirited
persons
while
fleeing
and
held
until
Police
arrived.
The
third
bandit
with
the
gun
was
still
being
sought
at
press
time.
Police
said
it
was
significant
to
note
that
the
robbery
was
carried
out
with
the
involvement
of
an
employee
of
the
establishment,
who
apparently
gained
employment
there
specifically
to
arrange
the
robbery.
