A reward of $2.5 million is being offered by the Guardsman Group for information leading to the arrest and charge of the persons responsible for the attack on the company’s security guards in a foiled robbery in St Elizabeth.
The reward is being offered through Crime Stop and expires on April 30.
Three Guardsman security guards were ambushed by gunmen as they made a drop-off at a financial institution in Santa Cruz on March 3.
It was reported that shortly after pulling up, gunmen pounced upon the guards.
A shootout ensued and the security guards were shot.
So too were their attackers, who later fled the scene.
The injured guards were assisted to hospital where one, 50-year-old Anthony Embden, succumbed to his injuries.
The two other guards were treated and released.
