On December 15, 2008, Sales representative, Jeannette Dublin of the National Lotteries Authority was held up at gun point in broad daylight after she had just collected money from a Lottery agent.

After collecting the money and upon entering their vehicle, two masked men, one of whom had a gun, accosted Dublin and Guardsman security officer Fitzroy Hamlett.

Dublin managed to fight off her attacker and Hamlett was able to fire shots at one of the masked men. One of the bullets caught him in his mouth and exited, shattering the windscreen.(KW)
