Security guard shoots man during alleged cable theft on Regent St

Police are investigating a shooting incident that occurred on Monday night on Regent Street, Bourda, Georgetown, leaving a 38-year-old man hospitalised.
Injured is Quacy Jandoo, who is unemployed and of no fixed place of abode. The incident occurred at about 21:45h, in the vicinity of Classic Styles Boutique.
According to reports, Jandoo was near the boutique when he was confronted by Ryan Weekes, a 38-year-old supernumerary constable attached to KGM Security Services. An argument reportedly ensued, during which Weekes drew a handgun and discharged a round that struck Jandoo in his left thigh. Jandoo fell but later ran into a nearby yard.
Police said Weekes was on duty at the Classic Collection building on Regent Street, Georgetown, from 19:00h that evening and had been issued a .32 pistol with a magazine containing ten rounds. Weekes told investigators that while stationed at the guard hut inside the compound, he heard noises from the front of the building. Upon checking, he said he observed Jandoo cutting a GTT cable with a hacksaw blade.
Weekes stated that he instructed Jandoo to stop, but the latter refused, leading to an argument. Jandoo then allegedly pulled a cutlass from his pants waist and attacked Weekes, prompting the security guard to draw his service weapon and fire a single shot.
Police ranks later found Jandoo in a nearby location described as a known “drug block”. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the thigh and admitted in stable condition.
The firearm has been lodged, and Weekes is currently assisting investigators.
