The police in St Catherine are searching for four gunmen who robbed, abducted and then shot a man and left him for dead in bushes in Sligoville last night.

It is reported that about 8:30 p.m., the man went to visit someone in the community and while in the area he was pounced upon by four armed men who robbed him of his possession.

The hoodlums then placed the 38-year-old technician inside the trunk of his Toyota Probox motor car and drove him to another section of the community where he was shot and left in bushes by his attackers.

He was eventually rescued and a report made.

The Linstead Criminal Investigation Branch is probing the matter.
