Have received a report that the group had targetted the UBA bank in Hospital Road (just north of Aggrey Rd) that was due to receive/had just received a large cash delivery. There was a confrontation by the police and lots of gunfire; the raid was apparently aborted. Area is reported as calm but I am still getting reports of the odd shot being heard. There is probably a ‘sweep’ being conducted to the track & capture the escaping robbers.
The incident at this time is confined to the Old Town and that area should avoided until all related activity has subsided.
