Gun­men re­port­ed­ly opened fire on the Va­len­cia Po­lice Post on Sun­day but luck­i­ly, no one was in­jured.

Ac­cord­ing to a po­lice re­port, around 11.55 pm, PC Ram­phal was on sen­try du­ty at the post when he heard sev­er­al loud ex­plo­sions out­side.

When he checked out­side, PC Ram­phal re­ceived in­for­ma­tion that a white-coloured Nis­san Sly­phy was head­ing past the po­lice post in an east­er­ly di­rec­tion when the ve­hicvle stopped and sev­er­al shots were heard. The dri­ver then sped off along the Va­len­cia Old Road.

PC Ram­phal com­mu­ni­cat­ed with PC Rat­tans­ingh and WPCs William-James and Sun­dar, who were on mo­bile pa­trol. The of­fi­cers im­me­di­ate­ly re­turned to the Po­lice Post, where sev­er­al brass-coloured cylin­dri­cal ob­jects were ob­served along the road­way at the front of the site.

All all points bul­letin was put out for the ve­hi­cle and the sus­pects but of­fi­cers made no head­way in find­ing them.

CSI per­son­nel PC Daniel and WPc Kheerai-Roop­narone vis­it­ed the scene, where four .9mm am­mu­ni­tion cas­ings were re­trieved.

No one was in­jured, nor was there any vis­i­ble signs of dam­age to the prop­er­ty.

Snr Supt Khan, Com­man­der East­ern Di­vi­sion, and Sgt Gloudon vis­it­ed the scene.

Ban­dits rob restau­rant

Three men robbed a cashier at a Chi­nese restau­rant on Sun­day morn­ing, mak­ing off with $550 from the reg­is­ter and the teen’s cell­phone worth $3,000.

Po­lice re­port­ed that around 11 am, the 19-year-old was at her East­ern Main Road, Arou­ca work­place when she heard a voice shout­ing, “Get on the ground!”

She said she looked around and saw a gun­man and two ac­com­plices stand­ing be­hind her. One of the men grabbed her by the back of the neck and or­dered her to open the reg­is­ter. He then took her cell­phone, an iPhone 11. The men three then ran off.

Po­lice said the cashier was left trau­ma­tised by the in­ci­dent.
