Antigua and Barbuda Police arrested a man after a break-in at Paradiso on Lower All Saints Road early on Sunday.
Officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and the Special Services Unit (SSU) responded to a report around 3:30 a.m. and surrounded the building.
The suspect tried to flee through a back door, confronting police with a pointed object. An officer fired a warning shot, after which the man jumped a fence and escaped into a nearby gutter carrying a bag.
He was later found in Michael’s Village with a screwdriver and a bag containing a metal grinder and other tools. The man sustained injuries and was taken to Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre.
Investigators said the suspect gained entry by prying open a wooden door.
An undisclosed amount of cash and coins were taken. The Forensic Evidence Recovery Unit processed the scene as inquiries continue.
