Driver and passengers avoid becoming robbery victims after fleeing from gunmen pursuing them on the road

Four people had to flee from gunmen, who apparently intended to
rob them after an attempt to block the vehicle in which they were
travelling.
 
Reports say that a Swetes Village man reported to the Criminal
Investigations Department (CID) that, while he and friends were
travelling on the public road in the vicinity of Lashings, two
men –both armed with guns – tried to block his vehicle.
 
Allegations are the man and his three passengers, who are residents
of Clare Hall, Cassada Gardens and Swetes, were driving from north
to south on the Fort James Road, when a green Cherokee jeep
attempted to block his Toyota motorcar.

He was able to swerve away, he says. But, upon reaching the vicinity
of the former Adelin Clinic, the jeep stopped again. The passenger
reportedly exited the vehicle, opened the victim’s door, and cranked
a small silver handgun.

Allegedly, the driver of the jeep was also armed with a gun.
However, the Swetes man was able to reverse his car and make his
getaway on a by-road, where he parked the vehicle and hid in some
bushes, while the other three passengers ran away. 
This incident reportedly occurred at about 3:30 a.m. on September
29.

The gunman is described as fair in complexion, about 5 feet 10
inches tall, of a slim build, and wearing a low haircut and low-cut
beard.
 
Officers from the Special Service Unit conducted a search in the
immediate surroundings for the vehicle and perpetrators, but they
did not find them.
