As Durrant proceeded along back street, accompanied by his daughter, a masked man approached him from behind, fired off two gunshots and then grabbed the bag which also contained a 9 mm pistol and four rounds of ammunition.

Jariel ‘Mad Max’ Belle, 26, and Kwasie Ryan, 24, both residents of Paul’s Avenue, were arrested and charged for their alleged involvement in the incident.

Up to press time yesterday, no arrest had been made in relation to the incident which occurred at Greaves. (DD)
