A security guard was beaten by gunmen during an attempted robbery at a National Commercial Bank (NCB) automated teller machine (ATM) at Bank House Mall in Mandeville on Tuesday morning.
A police source confirmed that the incident happened at about 2:00 am.
The source said the guard, who was on duty, was physically assaulted and had to be taken to hospital for treatment after the gunmen attacked him.
The gunmen reportedly vandalized the ATM but were unsuccessful in removing cash from it.
The Manchester police have increased their patrols close to ATMs and money couriers.
“We have heightened our presence where [criminals] might target,” said the source.
