"On Saturday last sometime around 8:00 pm police were called to Bella Vista village at an apartment building where one Edilson Clavel reported to police that whilst inside his room in the company of two of his friends they were approached by a male person known to him for the last five months who opened the door of his apartment and fired several shots inside the apartment none of which caught him. He was able to escape. The police were quick on the scene but they were able to catch up with the culprit who at this point in time is being sought pending this investigation."

"We've spoken to him but he is saying that he knows of no known problem with this person."

"The police have since detained one person in relation to the investigation and a firearm has been seized."

The accused is expected to be charged for aggravated assault but may face additional charges for that particular offence against an officer in uniform.
