The vehicle in which they were traveling was intercepted by officers who were on their trail.

The injured man was reportedly shot in his leg and taken to the San Fernando General Hospital where he was attended to and subsequently discharged. He remains in police custody along with his three other accomplices who were held when their vehicle was intercepted in La Brea.

Police say the four suspects are from Champs Fleurs and Point Fortin. It was reported that around 9 pm on Friday the men, one of them armed with a gun, held up and robbed patrons at the bar and then made good their escape in a waiting vehicle. An All Points Bulletin (APB) was issued and the vehicle intercepted by officers of the south western division. Investigations are continuing.
