Burglars Target PGIA Warehouse, Shots Fired

Early this morning, a bold burglary attempt was thwarted at the Terminal Cargo warehouse near Philip Goldson International Airport, Ladyville, when gunfire was exchanged with security guards.

Reports are that the incident occurred at around 1 o’clock when two security guards noticed two figures lurking on the east side of the secured warehouse. The intruders were instructed to leave. In response, one suspect, described as slim, about 5’7” tall, and dark-skinned, shot at one of the security officers.

The guards ducked for cover and tried to capture the suspects near the warehouse’s south side, but the suspects fled through a hole in the chain-link fence that borders the airport runway.

Police collected one spent and one live 9mm bullet. No injuries were reported.
