The last search was conducted on October 22, 2011.

Meanwhile, a 28-year-old man from Villa said he was shot in the left side during an attempted robbery on Nelson Alley at about 2 am on January 28.

He said two men confronted him as he was walking, and tried to rob him. When he resisted, one of them pulled out a gun and shot him. The robbers then ran off.

The police took the victim to the hospital, where a doctor described the injuries as serious.

In Michael’s Village, sometime between on January 27, someone broke into a home and stole an HP laptop valued at $1,000, an HP monitor valued at $350, a cell phone valued at $300, and about $400 in coins.

The intruder reportedly also unsuccessfully attempted to lift a 42” flat screen TV through a window.

The police have, meanwhile, recovered a quantity of jewellery believed to have been stolen. The public was invited to visit the Criminal Investigation Department at the St John’s Police Station on Newgate Street to identify their items.
